Josh Ford turns emotional as he hopes to have made late dad, friends proud of his 'PBB' journey

GMA Network23-06-2025
Josh Ford turned emotional when he spoke about his late father, as well as the friends he lost in a tragic car accident, hoping that they were proud of him even though he did not end up as a Big Winner in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."
In his GMA Integrated News interview with Aubrey Carampel alongside his fellow ex-PBB housemates, which aired on Monday, the Sparkle star said that he will still do his best even though he did not win the reality show.
"Andito pa rin ako. Nakangiti pa rin sa harapan ninyo and I love you guys and I hope proud kayo sa 'kin na kahit hindi ako nanalo," he said, getting all choked up.
"Kahit hindi ako naging Big Winner, gagalingan ko pa rin. Smile lang, kasi hindi mo alam kung anong mangyayari bukas. So be thankful, be thankful everyday. I love you guys, thank you for making me the person I am now."
In 2023, Josh was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his fellow Sparkle actor Andrei Sison and two other people: the driver, Paolo Bueza and another passenger named Arman Velasco.
Josh was the lone survivor of the car accident.
On Father's Day recently, Josh paid tribute to his late dad by sharing on Facebook a heartwarming old video of himself with his dad singing inside a car.
"We all miss you everyday and I'm glad we have this video for memories. Mahal na mahal kita Dad and I promise to always do my best and keep on going because I know you love seeing me on screen," Josh wrote in the caption.
In a "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" interview in May, Josh also said that he hopes his late friends are proud of what he is doing in life, adding that he would not be Josh Ford if it were not for them.
Josh was evicted from "PBB" with his duo Ralph de Leon, who eventually returned to Kuya's house after winning a wildcard slot.

Soompi quoted a source from Jong Kook's agency, Company, who said the event "is even more meaningful to make this new start in the significant year of this 30th debut anniversary." The Korean entertainment news outlet also shared a transcription of Jong Kook's handwritten letter, who admitted to feeling "even more nervous than I could have ever imagined" as he wrote the letter. "I'm getting married," Jong Kook said, adding he "tried to drop small hints here and there but I'm sure there are many people who feel as if this came suddenly."

"The wedding will take place sometime soon on a scale that is not too big with family, close friends and a few acquaintances," Jong Kook added, thanking and calling his fans his "greatest strength for a such a long time." "I am getting married and taking on a new challenge in life again," he wrote as he promised to "continue to work harder and live diligently as Kim Jong Kook."

Carmina Villaroel just turned 50 and her friends all came together to celebrate her. On social media, "Beauty Empire" star Rufa Gutierrez shared snaps and videos of Carmina's party where Candy Pangilinan, Aiko Melendez, Carla Estrada, and sisters Gelli and Janice de Belen attended — and partied like it was nobody's business. They danced like it was the '90s, took turns at the karaoke, with Mina's daughter Cassy having her own number and Mavy, who earlier honored his mom on social media, giving a speech. According to Rufa, when Mavy invited her to the party, "I knew I couldn't miss it." "What a night filled with laughter, music, and memories—then we even brought the whole kaboodle pa to Medusa," she added, before uttering her thanks for all her friends. "So grateful for timeless friendships that have stood the test of time," Rufa said as she greeted Carmina a "Happy golden birthday." "You deserve all the love and blessings. Love you always," she told Carmina. In her social media, Carmina shared snaps from the party, where she donned a sleek one-shouldered blue number. "Golden moments for a golden milestone. Celebrating 50 years of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories," she said. Happy 50th, Carmina! — LA, GMA Integrated News

To which he replied, 'Ako, magiging honest ako ah, pero grabe ang ngiti ko talaga. Pero 'yung first night, tinulugan ako.' 'Pero naintindihan ko naman kasi ang aga niya nagising so naiintindihan ko,' he added. His wife then said, "It's a scam," followed by a laugh. Shaira and EA tied the knot on August 14.
