<p>Kapuso actor Josh Ford took to social media to share a heartfelt message of gratitude and reflection following his exit from the ongoing <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab"><em><strong>Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong>.</em></p><p>On his Instagram page, Josh looked back on his time inside the iconic yellow house, saying he started his journey as one of the Kapuso celebrity housemates with little hope but left with bigger dreams.</p><p>“It’s been days since I got to see the outside world again. I’m still not used to everything that’s happening but all I know is that I am grateful. I am grateful for the love and support here on the outside and of course for the once in a lifetime experience to be inside the PBB House,” Josh wrote.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJmHY5Tyl8p/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1572714.399999857%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="858" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Josh shared what he misses the most inside the house, adding, “Being inside a house full of completely different people might seem difficult but as each day passed, the more that it felt like home. One thing I miss talaga is being able to see everyone as soon as I wake up in the morning.”</p><p>For Josh, he still cannot believe the bond he and his fellow housemates created in the past two months.</p><p>“It’s crazy that we were once strangers, but we now consider each other as family,” he expressed.</p><p>He then reflected on the lessons he learned throughout the journey, stating: “This journey has taught me to always be genuine with my intentions, to do my best at everything that I do, to empathize with the people around me, and to always dream BIG.”</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJeRORlv-1N/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1572721%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Josh survived a tragic car accident two years ago that claimed the lives of fellow actor Andrei Sison, driver Paolo Bueza, and another passenger, Arman Velasco. He was the lone survivor of the devastating crash.</p><p> Now given a new lease on life, Josh said his PBB journey feels like a reason he was meant to keep going.</p><p>“Maybe the reason why I was given another chance to live is to be able to have this experience, to meet my fellow housemates turned family, and to inspire others that when you are given another chance at anything, especially at life, you give it your all. Kahit anong pagsubok, kakayanin,” he stated.</p><div><strong></strong><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/3/31/exclusive-josh-ford-talks-about-fulfilling-his-late-father-s-dream-by-joining-pinoy-big-brother-2049"><strong>READ: EXCLUSIVE: Josh Ford talks about fulfilling his late father’s dream by joining Pinoy Big Brother<br/></strong></a></div><div><iframe width="1490" height="838" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3C_vrqH9dBY" title="Day 4: Josh, ibinahagi ang inspiration niya sa pagsusumikap | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The young actor then extended his deep appreciation to everyone who has been supporting him.</p><p>“Mahal na mahal ko kayo.

This journey wouldn’t be possible without you.
