Socialite and Vlogger Small Laude narrated her final moments with her father, Andres Antonino Eduard, who passed away on January 31, 2025, at the age of 91.
In her vlog, Small said that she was in Los Angeles when she received an emergency call from the doctor, saying that her father was already in bad condition.
She even heard her father looking for her at the hospital.
“Sabi ng doctor, ‘Small, you have to come home and call na everyone.’ Sobra akong shocked. Sa last vlog ko, sobrang saya pa ni Daddeh. Yun ang last na usap ko sa kanya,” said Small.
After being informed about the condition of her father, Small rushed to travel back to the Philippines.
“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, maabutan ko lang si Dad,'” she said.
Small still caught up and saw her father’s final moments personally.
“I was expecting mauuwi pa namin ang dad sa house. I was praying, ‘Can you give him several months pa or a year?’ Kasi gusto ko pa mag-bond with my dad.” she said.
“My dad waited for me. After one and a half hours, nag-pass on na siya.” she added.
Mr. Eduardo became popular on social media because of his appearance on Small’s vlogs.
He was known for disliking being recorded, but Small still successfully captured her fun times with her father.
