The Beermen did not extend his contract, making him a free agent at the start of the year.Appearing on the &quot;<a href="https://web.facebook.com/tiebreakertimes/videos/1150127462000417">Crossover</a>&quot; podcast, the 38-year-old Tubid took full responsibility for his role in the fracas.&quot;Ni-respect ko &#x27;yung decision nila,&quot; he said. &quot;Alam ko naman na mali ako… Instead na umawat ako, dumagdag pa ako.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/football/news/2020/06/11/us-soccer-repeals-rule-banned-kneeling-anthem-68718">READ: US Soccer repeals rule that banned kneeling during anthem</a></li></ul>Reportedly, Tubid punched Wells after an initial altercation between the import and Santos. Nabong allegedly punched Tubid as well, and the big man was eventually traded to NorthPort.Tubid said he only wanted to come to the aid of his friend, but realized in hindsight that he committed a major blunder.&quot;Sa akin, mali eh,&quot; he said. &quot;Ngayon ko pa na-realize na supposed to be, aawat dapat ako. Sabi nga ni Boss Al (Alfrancis Chua), dapat umawat ka eh, sumali ka pa. Sabi ko, &#x27;Boss, pasensya na, nadala lang ako ng ugaling Pinoy, ugaling Ilonggo na kapag &#x27;yung kasama mo, hindi puwedeng pinapabayaan.&#x27;&quot;Tubid revealed that he had already made plans to go to the San Miguel bosses to express both his apologies and his gratitude, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to change his plans.Once the lockdown is fully lifted, however, he intends to make good on his promise to apologize.&quot;Na-realize ko, it&#x27;s not too late,&quot; said Tubid. &quot;After this pandemic, I think I&#x27;m gonna set an appointment sa mga secretary ng mga boss doon, just to say hi and apologize.&quot;&quot;Kahit ako ganito akong mahiyain, I think I have to go there to say my apologies and magpasalamat sa career na binigay sa akin,&quot; he further explained. &quot;Then, if ever man, siguro maghingi ako na … kung pupwede, mag-retire ako nang maayos.&quot;&quot;Hindi ko naman sila makausap sa social media. I need to go there personally, magpasalamat, and ask favor lang just to retire lang nang maayos.&quot;Tubid is hoping for a positive response from his bosses, some of whom he has known since his days with the University of the East Red Warriors.&quot;Mababait &#x27;yun eh,&quot; he said. &quot;Grateful ako, and lucky na nakatrabaho ko sila, naging boss ko sila.&quot;&quot;Alam ko naman na mainit lang noong time na &#x27;yun. So, small favor, so at least &#x27;yung bridge ano, hindi &#x27;yung separate ways kayo na ganoon,&quot; added Tubid, who won seven championships with San Miguel Beer. The seven-time All-Star also hopes that his experience will be a lesson to other PBA players.&quot;Walang pupuntahan &#x27;yung init ng ulo,&quot; he said. &quot;You need to think first before you do it. So kumbaga, lesson learned.&quot;&quot;Hopefully, maka-retire lang ako nang maayos,&quot; Tubid again said.(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>).
