Philo was a philosopher not a historian, and his main concern was with interpreting the Hebrew Bible not reporting current events in Jerusalem.
Your statement is a well-known established fallacy. Philo did write about events in his own lifetime, did write about events in Jerusalem, did write about Pilate, did write about the Essenes, a sect of Jews and other sects which flourished in his time.
Philo did not mention a Jewish sect which worshiped a man as a God called Jesus of Nazareth.
You have exposed that you don't know what you are talking about.
Please, read "Embassy to Gaius", "Flaccus," "Hypothetica" and the "Contemplative Life".
The writings of Philo are evidence against an historical Jesus of Nazareth and evidence against a Jewish cult who worshiped a man as a God called Jesus of Nazareth in the time of Gaius 37-41 CE.
