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.

November 2, 2022: Ep. 14: UNDAS, All Souls Day & Celebrations of the Dead w/ Deann Nardo

For today’s broadcasting, Radyo Kapwa hosts talked about the significance of celebrating the dead in the Philippines, the difference practices and honouring the ancestors. In the West, Halloween is where people dress up, parties and overall joyous feeling. In the Philippines, November 1, All Saints Day and November 2, All Souls Day are considered holiday where millions of Filipinos travel back to their home provinces, ancestral homes to pay respect and honour loved ones who passed away.
