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.

August 23, 2023: Ep. 56: Josel Angelica Gerardo, Community Organizer & Youth Leader

For today’s broadcasting, Radyo Kapwa was joined by Josel Angelica Gerardo, Philippine-born and Tkaronto-raised master’s student in Political Science at University of Toronto studying the politics of identity and belonging, and a professional in municipal politics. She shared her immigration background that resonates to a lot of Filipino experience in the diaspora, her inspirations to continue her studies in Political Science and her involvement in Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s campaign to success.
