<p>It’s been almost six years after his mom Small Laude’s career as a content creator started taking off, but her youngest son Timothy shared with PUSH ABS-CBN why it took him only this year to start his joint YouTube channel Tim N’ Tom with his childhood friend and vlogging partner Tommy Tiangco. </p><p>“I started content creating along with Tommy around end of June this year. He’s the one who told me, ‘Oh, let’s start vlogging.’ That’s what boosted my Tiktok platform as well. Tommy and I are family friends. My friendship with him started for as long as I can remember, maybe when I was like four or five years old. There was a lot of pressure when I was starting so having Tommy with me, it was easy because I have someone to banter with and you know, it was really fun to do,” he shared in the exclusive interview during the ZEENfluential Awards Night 2025 held last November 20 at The Cove in Okada Manila in Pasay City. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-32" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2V16zES6Hb/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A32%2C%22os%22%3A26954711.199999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="847" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-32" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-30" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2R3OLmvD_y/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A30%2C%22os%22%3A26937371.099999964%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="847" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-30" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-28" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DRSEkPwkl5v/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A28%2C%22os%22%3A26914973.799999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="770" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-28" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>As the offspring of one of the country’s most well-loved lifestyle vloggers, Timothy admitted his mom gave him a lot of advice when he decided to start creating content online. “She’s the ultimate stage mom. She wants everything to be perfect. Basta it’s flawless for her. Of course, because she’s my mother, there’s pressure that comes with it. But I think it’s a matter of, do you want to be under her shadow or also make a name for yourself? Of course, it’s nice that we co-exist and we help each other. So that’s what’s fun and fulfilling about it,” he shared. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-26" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPjHVCmE67V/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A26%2C%22os%22%3A26894915.899999976%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="830" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-26" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-24" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5NM_F6rimw/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A24%2C%22os%22%3A26872865.199999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="719" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-24" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>When not on camera, Timothy shared what side of his mom the fans might not be able to see when they’re just at home with the family. “She gets mad at me a lot (laughs). It’s not seen on camera but I always get sermon,” he admitted. “When my mom started her vlogging career, I was not yet that comfortable in front of the camera, but you know, it slowly gets to you so at some point, you just don’t mind the camera at the end. Just be yourself,” he added. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-22" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLHEZrrTmr5/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A22%2C%22os%22%3A26855877.799999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="719" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-22" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/3/22/small-laude-shares-family-update-after-father-s-death-nakakamiss-si-dad-0959"><strong><u>READ: Small Laude shares family update after father’s death: ‘Nakakamiss si Dad’</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Last April at the ABS-CBN Ball, Timothy was also his mom’s escort ot the red carpet. But this outing did not automatically mean he would be open to joining showbiz as well, according to Timothy. “Well, I’m not really good in acting but if there’s any opportunity like probably a game show or like a guest appearance, that is possible,” he admitted. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-20" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIB5zh0pq47/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A20%2C%22os%22%3A26819773.399999976%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="847" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-20" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-18" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIBpilUSKw-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A18%2C%22os%22%3A26803275.299999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="823" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-18" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>After presenting one of the awards at the ZEENfluential Awards Night, Timothy appreciated being able to join his first red carpet event with fellow content creators. “I feel honored because this is somewhat my first awarding show.
