Best known as a mainstay of the kiddie gag show Goin’ Bulilit, Miles Ocampo first appeared in the teleserye Mangarap Ka which starred Piolo Pascual and Angelica Panganiban. She also starred in Anghel Na Walang Langit and a number of Star Cinema films including I’ve Fallen For You, A Very Special Love (AVSL), You Changed My Life, and BFF (Best Friends Forever). Having worked with the country’s premium actors, Miles told ABS-CBN.com that she has truly learned a lot from them, especially from Megastar Sharon Cuneta. “Lahat naman sila masaya katrabaho. Si Tita Shawie nag-advise siya sa akin na, ‘Anak, kailangan maging mabait ka sa utility men at sa mga crew kasi diyan ka tatagal sa industriya. Alam mo ba ako, hindi ko alam, ang dami namang magaganda at sexy diyan pero bakit nandito pa rin ako?’ Eh bata rin po siya nagstart sa showbiz ’di ba?” she began.

Though she felt intimidated by the BFF star at first, the 12-year-old revealed that Sharon made sure that she was at her most comfortable while they were shooting their scenes. “Ay naku, napakabait po ni Tita Shawie. Nung second day po namin, nagbigay siya ng stuffed toys, pillows, tsaka Starbucks tumbler, tapos may kasamang handwritten letter para sabihin na huwag kaming maiilang na kasama siya. Lahat kami binigyan niya pati sila Kuya Chokoleit, Ate Joy (Viado), tsaka yung iba. Tapos ‘di ba meron pong part dun [sa movie] na iyakan namin? Kinakabahan ako noong una pero niyakap niya ako, sabi niya, ‘Anak huwag kang kabahan sa akin.’ So mula noon naging relaxed na ako,” she related.

Moving on from child roles, she played Mega’s daughter who has a crush on AJ Perez. “Inaasar nga po nila ako kasi noong shooting ng AVSL dumalaw si John Manalo (her former Goin’ Bulilit co-star) sa set, nagbigay po siya ng passes ng Caregiver. Noong time na yun inasar na po ako nila Nanay Cathy (Garcia-Molina, AVSL director), sila kuya John Lloyd (Cruz), pati yung mga crew. Eh tamang-tama po yung crew doon, sila din dun sa BFF. So nung nagka-love team na ako sa BFF inaasar nila ako. Nagkataon naman na dumalaw ulit si John so pati si Direk Wenn (Deramas) inaasar na din ako. Pero siguro dinalaw lang niya si Tita Shawie dahil mommy niya yun sa Caregiver,” she explained.

Just a high school freshman at School of St. Anthony in Quezon City, Miles has already bought a house and a car using her earnings. But even if she started young in the biz, the bubbly teenager was quick to say that she had enough time to enjoy her childhood. “Four years na ako sa Goin’ Bulilit at nag-eenjoy pa rin po ako. Kaya nga kapag maaga napa-pack up yung taping namin nalulungkot ako. Kasi parang naglalaro lang kami sa set. Actually dapat last October pa lang graduate na ako pero pinaiwan kami ni Direk (Bobot Mortiz), ako, si Yong (An Chiu), tsaka si Igy Boy (Flores). Usually naman po 13 years old yung age limit sa show. Ako malapit na kasi matangkad ako kaya ang mga roles ko laging nanay na,” she beamed.

She still joins the other bulilits whenever they play games in between breaks. “Kapag break po sabay-sabay kaming tatlo pati na sina Sharlene (San Pedro), kwentuhan lang habang kumakain. Pero minsan kung gusto nilang makipaglaro, nakikipaglaro pa rin ako sa ibang bata sa set. Kaya lang minsan po parang nao-OP na kaming tatlo pero masaya naman kami dahil part pa rin kami ng show. Kami na yung tumatayong pinaka-ate at kuya nila,” she added.
