Vlogger and socialite Small Laude’s husband, billionaire businessman Philip Laude, has filed a writ of habeas data against his alleged mistress, Precious Lara Su, also known as Mae Larra O. Sumicad. The issue arose in December 2024 when rumors surfaced online about Philip's involvement in an affair following leaked alleged screenshots of conversations between him and Su.
The screenshots purportedly depict Su and Philip engaged in a romantic relationship, with Philip expressing love for her and dissatisfaction with his marriage to Small. Seeking legal recourse, the 'Candyman' heir approached the Pasig Regional Trial Court, Branch 160, requesting a writ of habeas data against his alleged mistress and her associates to safeguard his privacy rights.
In response to the situation, Small Laude, a renowned celebrity endorser and brand ambassador, finds herself embroiled in a public scandal involving her husband's alleged infidelity. Philip Laude, a prosperous businessman who owns an online stock trading company, frequently features in Small's vlog videos, which attract an extensive audience of viewers. Furthermore, Philip's family is associated with 'Candyman,' a company renowned for its iconic White Rabbit candy brand.
On the other hand, Su, also known as Mae Larra O. Sumicad, is an up-and-coming actress signed with Viva Max Philippines since October 2023. A writ of habeas data is a legal remedy utilized to protect an individual's privacy by either halting the dissemination of detrimental information or rectifying any false or unlawful data held against them.
