Would you say yes to a Php 299 engagement ring? Vice Ganda and famous personalities expressed their opinions about this.

Previously, debates and arguments sparked after a post about the Php 299.00 engagement ring went viral online. The anonymous user shared that her boyfriend of eight years proposed to her with a 299-peso engagement ring and she found out that he ordered it in an online shopping platform.

Many people expressed their personal views and experiences about this situation.

Some people online defended the money value of the ring and argued that it doesn’t matter how much it costs, what matters most is how they treat each other and the desire of the guy to spend the rest of his life with her.

What do celebrities say about this issue?

Vice Ganda

According to the Kapamilya superstar, this issue may or may not become an issue. It will depend on how the couple communicated about this. He said, “Malay natin, ’299 lang ito ha? Pero wag kang mag-alala, meron akong isang milyon. Nilaan ko kasi yun para sa future, kaya sa singsing, Php 299 lang muna.’”

The Kapuso actress expressed a different approach as for her personal view, being practical is more important.

She said, “In my opinion, iinvest niyo nalang pera niyo sa lupa at bahay. Para di kayo mamulubi sa renta at di puro porma. Laking tipid ng hindi nagrerenta ng bahay.”

For the actress, she validated what the girl felt and reminded people to not be so fast in making judgments. She stressed, “Money habits are actually very contextual. There is a reason why you spend the way you spend.”

Meanwhile, this matter remains subjective.

There’s no right or wrong about this as what applies to you and what is right for you will not go the same with other people. There are a lot of factors to be considered like the financial status of the man and many others. The situation of the girl must also be taken into consideration. She must have witnessed something that made her feel that way.

The least, however, that people can do, is to be kind and not be too judgmental of the girl’s feelings. Her feelings should not be invalidated just because what worked for you did not work for her.
