Josh Ford defends himself over Vince Maristela's joke confrontation: 'I'm not a bully'

Things are heating up among the boys over some jokes, as seen in Tuesday's episode of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."

In the episode, Vince Maristela aired out to Brent Manalo about his concern about jokes on their duo name.

Esnyr was the person to peg the duo name "VRENT," which Vince later on said felt like he was being erased in the picture.

Another concern of Vince was a joke of putting the sopas (Filipino noodle soup) in his water jug, which he pinned on Josh Ford.

"Hindi ko lang din alam kung malakas lang din trip sa akin ni Josh eh parang saan daw ilalagay 'yung sopas, sa jug daw ni Vince," Vince said.

A clip of the scene later revealed that it was Michael Sager who told the joke and it was only repeated by Josh.

In a separate conversation, Esnyr apologized to Vince about his joke on their duo name. Vince and Brent's duo name is now "BRINCE," based on the intro of the show.

In the boys' room, Vince took the opportunity to confront the boys about his concerns on their jokes about their duo name.

"Para sa 'kin medyo bullying din 'yun eh, para sa akin kaya ko kayo gustong kausapin kasi gusto kong sabihin sa inyo na mali, na hindi maganda na ginagawa niyo 'yun sa ibang tao," Vince said.

Vince also called out Josh on the sopas joke.

"Iba lang din talaga 'yung dating sa 'kin, kung may gusto kang patunayan, Josh, mag-jo-joke ka sa 'kin kung saan ilalagay 'yung sopas,  sa jug ko."

"Hindi mo kailangan ipamukha sa akin, bro. 'Yun lang naman. Alam kong kengkoy ako, kaya ko 'yun kengkoy pero hindi mo pwedeng ipakita sa akin na kinakaya-kaya mo lang ako," he added. "Mataas respeto ko sa inyo at siyempre 'pag nagbibigay ako ng respeto, humihingi rin ako ng respeto pabalik kasi ganoon ang lalaki. Tungkol kahit saan, pero kung magbibiro kayo sa akin, biruin niyo sa harapan ko, huwag sa ibang tao kasi ibang usapan ko."

Josh apologized but admitted that he didn't like Vince's approach to the situation.

"I'm sorry on everyone's behalf, I'll be honest with you, but I don't like the fact that you pointed me out, I'll be honest with you. 'Yung kanina about the sopas, dude I heard someone say it so sinabi ko lang din," Josh said.

"Kung may problema ka sa akin din lang sabihin mo sa akin, huwag sa harap ng iba. If you're gonna talk to everybody say it as a whole. Alam ko naman 'yung sa sopas ako 'yun, sana sinabi mo na sopas, and now everybody knows it was me," he added.

He told Vince that he's not a bully.

"So please don't call me a bully kasi I felt like we were close na kasi eh pero 'di pa pala sinasabi mo rin so gets ko na kung bakit."
