But this doesn't mean that she's done being an actress. It's just that she has found contentment in her career, while still aiming to reach new heights. That's what she told the PEP.ph team on September 6, 2024, during a brand event.
"I think that's the best feeling in the world—being a mom. That's the best feeling for me. And although it's going down, my career, for me, it's the best because I have time for my daughter," Sofia emotionally told the media.

And even though she's not as active on television these days, she has found comfort in being active on social media. "I'm active on social media, which I am very happy also na kahit hindi ako active on TV," she said. ICYDK, Sofia has more than 10 million followers on Instagram alone. There, she posts about her latest fashion obsessions, the portraits of her family and friends that she took, and more brand deals.
Somehow, it's her way of telling the world that she's still here and that she's working hard in anything that she does. "I'm very hardworking. I don't wanna stop in this industry. I want them to know that I'm still active, I still want to connect with other people, 'yung sa audience natin. I don't plan to stop anytime soon," Sofia declared.
