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 3, 2022: Ep. 1: Land Acknowledgement

We at @radyokapwa extend gratitude to the original custodians of the Lands and Waters we benefit from on Turtle Island.

We also reject the settler colonial lie that Magellan “discovered” the Philippines, but instead, happened upon rich and diverse communities with well established governments and cultural practices.

Join us (03.08) for a necessary conversation on why Land Acknowledgments are important, and how we can go beyond them to support Indigenous communities.
