Tom Rodriguez reveals he made Carla Abellana's engagement ring

Tom Rodriguez surely pulled up all the stops when he proposed to long-time girlfriend Carla Abellana.

In Nelson Canlas' report for "24 Oras," Tom said that he personally studied and crafted Carla's engagement ring. From melting the gold, sizing and polishing—it was all him.

The ring features a diamond that is surrounded by 12 other eternity diamonds to symbolize Carla's birthdate, which is June 12.

The couple announced their engagement on Sunday through their Instagram accounts but revealed that they have been engaged since October.

According to them, they wanted to keep it private first and be "sensitive" about the world's current struggles.

They plan to hold their classic-style church wedding this year once the country’s current situation gets better.

Tom and Carla have been together for almost seven years. They met through GMA's "My Husband's Lover" in 2013.
