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.

March 18, 2026: Ep. 190: SQUAT Show - PUNK WOMEN FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA w/ Nikki Anchovy

In this episode, we focus on punk women from Southeast Asia — vocalists, collaborators, and scene builders working across Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and the diaspora. The episode opens with Material Support (Queens, NY), Sial (Singapore), Changes (Kuantan, MY), and Ingkar. (Malaysia), then moves through Indonesian bands Sukatani, LIPS!!, and Hardik, all fronted or co-fronted by women.

A dedicated block spotlights Stephania Shakila, who also performs as SaintMary. You hear her in three consecutive tracks — with her band Veinn (Bali), guesting with Rekah (Jakarta), and on Hulubalang's BUNYI BUNYI TUMBAL alongside Kasimyn of Gabber Modus Operandi. The episode continues with stab. (Cebu City), Piri Reis (Shah Alam, MY), S-21 (Philadelphia), Jalang (Naarm/Melbourne), and closes with Banana is the Bastard (Lucena City, Philippines).
