This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

8. εἷς ἐκ τ. μαθ. Of course this does not imply that Philip was not a disciple; the meaning rather is, that a disciple had been appealed to without results, and now a disciple makes a communication out of which good results flow. The name of this second disciple comes in as a sort of afterthought. There seems to have been some connexion between S. Andrew and S. Philip (Joh 1:44, Joh 12:22). In the lists of the Apostles in Mark 3 and Acts 1. S. Philip’s name immediately follows S. Andrew’s. On S. Andrew see notes on Joh 1:40-41. The particulars about Philip and Andrew here are not found in the Synoptists’ account.
