Oh my god, I want it. I have 2 of these that haven't bloomed yet, probably because they arrived to me with almost no roots. I am still hopeful one or both will bloom this spring. The foliage on yours looks "chunkier" than my plant.

No matter how you cut it, this variety is slow to bloom. That is a very colorful clone you have.

Is this now a recognized species or a variety of philippinensis?
nice one
Nice. For size reference, what size pot is that?
It's a 3.5 inch pot. 4 growths. Overall height, the bottom of the pot to top bud, is 17.5 inches. Very compact and reasonably sized plant that reliably blooms at this time of year for me.
very nice.
That would fit nicely in my orchid patch. Very beautiful!

Actually it is a variety, but sometimes it is just easier to write without var. i guess.

Botanically it is correct to call it philippinense, but for horticultural purposes the name laevigatum serves as a short hand for the particular flower type of philippinense. Lavigatum is not a valid scientific name, but it is a useful short hand for horticultural purposes. The correct scientific name is Paph philippinense with no variety or other modifiers added. This is a social horticultural forum, so rigid scientific accuracy is not required, lavigatum is a useful way to describe this type of flower.
(see Rick, I have evolved, a little)
By the way, yours is a nice one, well done.

What makes this distinct as laevigatum?
I think size of the plant (mini).
