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.

February 18, 2026: Ep. 186: SQUAT Show - Limbs' Final Album Showcase & Select Songs w/ Nikki Anchovy

In this episode, we spotlight Manila metallic hardcore band Limbs and their fourth and final album, Like A Poet, Keen To The Rustle Of Leaves, released under Kuwago Records. Marking their tenth year as a band, the record is framed as theory-fiction — an apocalyptic score composed in a time of losses and rectification, drawing from Jose Maria Sison’s poem “The Guerilla Is Like A Poet” and the companion document The People’s War as an Experiment on Time.

Following the full album showcase, we move outward with select tracks from Makruh (Kuala Lumpur, MY), Duma (Nairobi, Kenya), and LIPS!! (Jakarta, Indonesia), connecting underground currents from across SEA and Africa.
