A storm of speculation surrounds businessman Philip Laude, husband of well-known vlogger Small Laude, after screenshots allegedly showing his conversations with a supposed girlfriend went viral. The Instagram user @preciouslarra_su posted the screenshots, which purportedly feature Philip exchanging affectionate messages with another woman he calls “love.”
The screenshots, which have since been deleted, suggest that Philip is unhappy in his marriage and is contemplating separation but remains hesitant due to their children and social reputation in the Chinese community. The swift reactions from netizens have kept the issue trending on X (formerly Twitter), with mixed opinions about the messages’ authenticity.
Some online users questioned the language used in the screenshots, noting that Philip unusually conversed in straight Tagalog. Others speculated on the credibility of the evidence, pointing out inconsistencies in the alleged messages and even dismissing the claims as fake news. One netizen claimed to have recently seen Philip and Small together with their children, appearing harmonious in public.
As of now, neither Philip nor Small has addressed the controversy, leaving netizens to speculate.
