Small Laude: “My dad waited for me.”
Socialite and vlogger Small Laude is still deeply mourning the passing of her father, Andres Antonino Eduardo.
Eduardo passed away, at the age of 91, on January 31, 2025 
Small Laude on her father’s death on the day she arrived in Manila: “I was expecting dad to still be home… After one and a half hours, he passed on.” On the left photo is Small hugging her dad while sister Alice Eduardo looks on. On the lower right photo is Small being consoled by husband Philip. In Small’s vlog yesterday, February 16, she recounted that she was in the middle of her Los Angeles trip when she received an emergency call from the Philippines.
Her sister Alice Eduardo made a video call.
Here, Small saw her father in the hospital and clearly “in great pain” while being given an I.V.
Her father was able to speak and said, “Small, where are you? Don’t eat first.”
That was the “hardest and worst call” Small had ever received in her entire life.
Small continued: “The doctor said, ‘Small, you have to come home and call everyone.’
“I was so shocked. In my last vlog, Daddeh was still so happy. That was the last time I talked to him.
“The doctor said, I might never make it to Dad. I said, ‘No!’”
Small decided to go home to the Philippines immediately.
“We booked the first flight out for Manila. 18 hours. It was the longest flight of my life.
“I was praying to God, ‘Lord, I just want my dad alive. Lord, I just want Dad to make it.’”

Upon arriving at the airport in the Philippines, Small went straight to the hospital where his father was confined.
“All my siblings, they were all there. I cannot believe… Ate was crying.
“The doctor said, ‘You really have to say everything.’
“I was expecting to bring dad home. I was praying, ‘Can you give him several months or a year?’ Because I still want to bond with my dad.”
But that same day his father passed away.
Small said emotionally: “My dad waited for me. After one and a half hours, he passed on.
“I really can’t accept that.small laude on PREPARING FOR HER DAD’S FUNERAL
The next day, February 1, Small’s heart was broken while preparing for her father’s funeral service.
She and her sister Alice went to the Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City to choose a casket to place their father’s remains.
“When I saw my dad on the table, without shoes and everything, that’s the time I realized dad is gone,” Small said.
Small also said that her sister Alice — known for being a strong and always “guiding light” of their family — was also deeply affected by their father’s passing.
She added, “This time, Ate needed support also. We were both crying.
“It was the most painful and most traumatic for me. “The pain is so bad.”
Small’s vlog also showed all the throwback vlogs where he was with his father.
Here, Small can be seen often teasing his father, as if he really doesn’t want to be caught on camera.
This also includes the father’s encounters with Small’s fans who said they are also very fond of the vlogger’s father.
