00:04 If you go on social media, you'll know the price of a bride-to-be
00:08 when you find out that her engagement ring is only P299.
00:13 But do you know where the tradition of giving a ring to the person you want to give it to comes from?
00:20 Brother Kim, what's next?
00:22 [music]
00:25 The netizens' opinion on the problem that an anonymous user put in an online group was divided.
00:30 The one who posted it discovered the engagement ring that his fiancée gave him
00:35 that he bought online for P299.
00:39 Is this how low my value is to him?
00:42 He didn't even save up to buy a ring.
00:45 Some sympathized.
00:47 The amount of the engagement ring is okay.
00:49 The expenses are a bit expensive now.
00:52 That's too much.
00:53 If that's all he can afford.
00:55 While others say,
00:56 If you can only afford a P299 ring, then you cannot afford to build a family.
01:01 Celebrities also gave their opinion.
01:04 Is this how low my value is to him?
01:08 Brother Kim, when did you use the engagement ring?
01:12 Brother Kim, what's next?
01:14 The engagement ring or bethrothal ring is a symbol that the person wearing it is engaged
01:20 and will marry whoever gave him the ring.
01:23 It symbolizes the love, commitment, and marriage promise of the two people who will get married.
01:27 The first people to use the engagement ring are the ancient Romans.
01:30 The men gave the engagement ring to their beloved women as a sign that they are together.
01:36 According to the Gemological Institute of America,
01:38 these rings are made of ivory, flint, copper, and steel.
01:42 But they have 850 CE when the engagement rings were officially given meaning or significance.
01:48 When Pope Nicholas I declared it as a symbol of the intention of a man who is getting married.
01:54 The most famous stone used in engagement rings is the diamond.
01:58 The first to use the diamond engagement rings was in 1477.
02:02 It was commissioned by Archduke Max Milan of Austria to propose to Mary of Burgundy.
02:07 Meanwhile, for those who are going through the same thing, the expert's advice is,
02:11 All of our emotions are valid.
02:13 We need to acknowledge also if we are sad, if there are questions.
02:17 We need to communicate directly to our partner so that he/she won't get angry.
02:22 Because his/her fiancé can clarify.
02:24 "This is for now, but it does not mean that my love is only worth this."
02:29 Maybe they have other priorities.
02:31 Very important, open lines of communication.
02:35 Bottom line, the ring is not solely the manifestation or symbol of love.
02:42 It can be through actions, giving time to their relationship, words.
02:47 The secret of a happy and strong relationship is to talk and hold hands in the face of problems and wishes.
02:53 From New York City, this is Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.
