Founded in 1999 and formerly known as Sigaw ng Bayan, Radyo Kapwa is an inclusive Filipino/a/x community and cultural radio show that celebrates the diversity and difference of people with roots to the Philippines. With three historical colonial invasions, multiple waves of migration worldwide, and over 7000 islands, we recognize and honour that Filipino/a/x/s are not a monolith. We provide a wide range of programming, music, and discussion topics to reflect this diversity.

Radyo Kapwa aims to share their platform with grassroots community organisers and organisations, as well as interviews with inspiring members of our community. Our framework is based on values rooted in decolonization, and restorative and transformative justice. Our mission is to create an anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, faith inclusive, non-ableist, trauma-informed space.

June 7, 2023: Ep. 45: Millicent Castillo, Community Advocate & Queer Salvi-Pino Artist

Happy Filipino Heritage Month AND Pride month for the rest of the world!

If it is not obvious, June is not just Filipino Heritage Month but as well as Pride month. It is a double celebration for us in the diaspora and our fellow baklas.

Stay tuned to listen to our Kapwa bakla artist, Millicent Castillo, community advocate, Salvi-Pino Queer artist living with an invisible chronic illness and how all of this combination manifests in their art.

Visit their Instagram at @waterflorafaunarise to support their visually stimulating art.
