00:00 Meanwhile, this is a hot topic online.
00:04 This is about a story of a woman who was bought an engagement ring by her boyfriend.
00:10 But, it's very important, Maren.
00:13 It's P299 that was stolen.
00:18 Here's the news from Oscar Oida.
00:24 Not all gifts are expensive, but if your loved one is expensive,
00:30 should you give the same amount of money?
00:34 This is a statement from a Facebook page.
00:38 A woman was dismayed because she received a P300 engagement ring from her boyfriend.
00:48 Different versions were shared online, including the story of a man who gave a ring.
00:55 But the FB page clarified that the screenshot of the original post
01:00 shows that the woman behind it is not true.
01:04 But this happened in real life, like the husband Hannah Camille and Dan Joseph Villar.
01:12 The engagement ring was P299, but for her, asking for her hand is not enough to get her married.
01:24 The reality is you don't need to go broke finding the perfect ring.
01:31 Don't feel pressured into spending more than you're willing to.
01:34 Dan was more prepared to get married and build their own house.
01:41 I didn't know that he saved his money for our wedding. He has savings for the wedding.
01:48 The important thing is to get your loved one married, take good care of her and most of all, love her.
01:56 How expensive should an engagement ring be?
02:01 You need to be practical, but it depends on the gift.
02:05 If it's really biased, you should not give it. If you gave it to me, you should be forced to give it.
02:10 As long as you love each other, the price won't matter.
02:15 Why?
02:16 Because life is hard.
02:20 The price would depend on the financial stability or financial standing of the couple.
02:31 If their finances are not that stable, you don't need an expensive engagement ring to make your love feel.
02:44 The marriage counselor, Jocelyn Laverinto, said that some people's disregard for the expensive engagement ring was valid.
02:52 Especially since it gave them a big part of their life.
02:57 Engagement ring is a symbol of commitment.
03:00 Especially for Filipinos, it's a pride for a woman to receive an expensive ring.
03:07 The couple, Pia Salvation and Martin Dominic, have an expensive engagement ring because for Dominic, it's an investment that is considered a lot.
03:20 What do you want, big or small, your marriage, your house, your car. But at the end of the day, you will decide together.
03:29 You will decide as a couple and you should be in agreement with all your movements because you are already a couple.
