Here’s the reaction of Dr. Richard Mata to the P299 engagement ring issue
DR. RICHARD MATA – The celebrity pediatrician reacted to the trending P299 engagement ring issue.
In the past few days, the P299 engagement ring issue has been the talk of the town. This was after a woman expressed her dismay upon discovering that her engagement ring was bought by her boyfriend from Shopee and it only cost 299 pesos.
She wonders whether she should make a big deal out of it or if she is being too immature. Now, she’s contemplating whether to ignore her feelings or confront him, as she doesn’t want to ruin the moment.
The guy behind the issue has aired his side. According to him, it hurts a lot knowing that his girlfriend did not appreciate his efforts for her. He questioned if the price of the engagement ring does matter.
Among those who reacted to the issue is none other than Dr. Richard Mata. In a Facebook post, the celebrity pediatrician said that the girl should not have resorted to social media about the proposal. Instead, they should have talked about it first.
He also highlighted the giving of gifts between men and women. For him, men are more functional while women are sentimental. Dr. Richard Mata believes that the girl was not wishing for something very expensive. However, P299 is way too cheap for an engagement ring according to him.
Here’s the full reaction of Dr. Richard Mata:
“To be fair sa girl, na nakatangap ng 299 engagement ring, I’m not judging her for reacting.
The only thing na macomment ko is no need na sana malagay sa Soc Med but pagusapan nalang nila.
Voice out both your true feelings. Communication is the key.
But I won’t judge her na masama or dapat hiwalayan. That’s unfair.
Men need to understand that men and women are different.
If we give gifts to men, it’s usually functional. Like charger, swissknife, tools, gadgets and the likes.
Ang babae Pare ay iiba, they are more of sentimental and personal. Di kailangan may function. Like flowers, bracelet, ring, necklace and the likes. That doesn’t make them a bad person. Especially on special occasions because they will keep it as a reminder of that very special day. Sentimental nga.
I do believe she was not wishing for something very expensive but 299 is way too cheap for an engagement ring.
Sosootin kasi nya araw araw. Sabi naman ni Kuya, kaya naman daw talaga niya ang 4 digit na price, so yun dapat. If wala pa sa budget, then just postpone giving or pwede nga walang engagement ring basta may wedding ring.
Let the woman be a woman, or else choose a man.
As the old song goes…
But she’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself ’cause she’s always a woman to me“
