The actor opened up about Sophia during an ambush interview at the finale mediacon of the ABS-CBN action series Blood vs. Duty on Monday, July 13, at the ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City. Geisler, who portrays SPO4 Felix Domingo in the series, happily spoke about his daughter's growing career while emphasizing that education remains her top priority.
Reflecting on Sophia's first film appearance in Senator Robin Padilla's Bad Boy 3, Geisler said he was delighted that she has managed to balance school and acting.
"I’m very proud of my daughter kasi unang-una nag-aaral po siya ngayon. First year college po siya. She’s doing a good job. Maganda grades niya. And sideline niya lang ‘yung pag-aarte."

He also credited both himself and Montenegro for Sophia's natural ability in front of the camera.
"Siguro nasa dugo namin ni Nadia ‘yung pag-aarte. Kaya gifted po si Sophia. So Sophia, I’m very proud of you. I love you. And actually kahapon lang magkatext kami."
Geisler also revealed that Sophia sought his approval before accepting opportunities in show business. Although he supported her decision, he admitted that he first reminded her to focus on her studies.
"Siyempre, unang una, gusto ko mag-aaral ka muna. Pero kung kaya niya ipagsabay, okay lang. Pero mas mag-focus siya sa pag-aaral. Business management kinukuha niya."
Sophia made her acting debut in Bad Boy 3, led by Robin Padilla. During the film's preview screening in June, Nadia Montenegro shared that it was Padilla who first suggested casting Sophia in the movie.
"Actually, hindi ko siya kinonvince, si Robin talaga ang may idea. Siya raw ang manager."
Geisler's latest remarks come after he and Montenegro gradually rebuilt their relationship as co-parents. The former couple reunited in August 2025 to celebrate Sophia's 19th birthday, with Geisler's wife, Jamie Evangelista, joining the family gathering. Montenegro later revealed that Sophia had been spending more time with Geisler and his family.
Their improved relationship followed Montenegro's confirmation in July 2024 that Geisler is Sophia's biological father. She also shared that her late husband, Boy Asistio, had long known the truth and that they were able to reach closure before his passing. Today, Geisler says he is simply grateful to witness his daughter pursue her dreams while continuing to excel in school.
