While Nadia Montenegro didn’t name outright the biological father of her youngest daughter Sophia, the actress took a swipe at actor Baron Geisler and his recent child revelation “for views.”

Montenegro addressed the speculations surrounding the identity of Sophia’s dad through an interview vlog with broadcaster Julius Babao on Tuesday, June 25.

The topic was brought up after Babao asked about the claims that the actress had a child whom she does not share with her late husband Macario “Boy” Asistio Jr.

“‘Yung mga nangyari sa buhay ko in the past, siguro umabot sa 17, 18 years na itinago ko—hindi ko ito itinago sa mga tao na dapat nakakaalam,” she said, while photos of Sophia and Geisler were flashing in the video. “Hindi ko rin ito itinago sa mga mahal ko sa buhay, hindi ko itinago sa anak ko, kay Boy, at sa mga kapatid ko.”

Montenegro stressed that while the public was “feasting” on her and her family’s lives, she exerted effort to fix their relationship privately after what happened and succeeded in doing so.

“Buhay ko ‘to, buhay ng anak ko, pangalan ng asawa ko, pangalan ko, but I don’t think I owe anyone an explanation kung ano man ang ginawa ko sa buhay ko,” she noted. “Napatawad ako ng Panginoon; namayapa si Boy nang okay kami; maayos ang mga anak ko sa pagkakaintindi ko.”

Montenegro further noted that she has no regrets over having Sophia, whom she described as one of her biggest blessings.

“Pinalaki ko siya [nang] punong-puno ng pagmamahal, punong-puno ng respeto sa tatay niyang si Boy, sa nagbigay ng pangalan sa kanya, sa nagpaaral sa kanya, sa nagmahal sa kanya. Walang puwedeng magkwestiyon outside our circle,” Montenegro stated.

“Wala akong pakialam sa kanila… Nung nagyari ‘yan, nung nagtrending, kalmado lang kami sa bahay,” she said, apparently referring to Geisler’s revelation last March that he has an older daughter aside from his child with his wife Jamie Evangelista.

When asked if her daughter is “interested” in building a relationship with her biological dad, Montenegro disclosed, “As of now, hindi.”

“Kasi isang beses pa lang sila nagkita tapos biglang inannounce na agad. So nasaan do’n ‘yung intention mo na magkaroon ng relationship; or gusto mo lang ng views?” she continued.

“Ilagay mo sa tama kung anong intensyon mo kasi ramdam na ramdam ko. Ayaw na ng anak ko [makipagkita],” she said. “And give me a reason why. Are you even worth it to be called a dad?”
