The media personality noted that she did not need a man to have her own diamond ring.

”Bakit ako mag-aantay sa lalaki? E di bilhan ko na lang [ang] sarili ko, ‘di ba? It’s just a symbol to love myself. Parang gift ko talaga siya para sa sarili ko,” she said.

She said that for her, it was also an investment, and something that she wants to pass down to her own future kids.

“Hindi ako engaged (I am not engaged), I am just loved,” she stressed. “This is my gift to myself and I’m so proud kasi (because) it’s a reminder to work hard for your dreams, kasi dati pangarap ko lang talaga ‘to eh (this used to be just a dream of mine). Tapos ‘di ba, naging sa akin na siya (Then this ring is now mine), and it’s just a dream come true.”
