<p>Miles Ocampo got candid about her journey in show business.</p><p>In an interview with Bernadette Sembrano for the broadcaster&#x27;s YouTube vlog, Miles opened up about the struggles she experienced while bagging projects in the industry.</p><p>&quot;Pangarap ko talagang sumikat, pinagkakaguluhan, kaso [walang gaanong work] kaya naisip ko na may mangyayari pa ba sa akin?&quot; she confessed.</p><p>Miles admitted that before she couldn&#x27;t help but compare herself to her<em> Goin&#x27; Bulilit</em> batchmates Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes who shot to fame early on.</p><p>&quot;Sina ate Julia at ate Kath sa first batch namin na sikat na sikat after <em>Mara Clara</em> tapos nandoon ako sa awkward stage na, ‘gusto ko rin ng ganun’. Hindi ko po ide-deny na sinabi kong ‘sana ako rin ganun,’&quot; she admitted.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cor-_1BrcqM/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1525183%2C%22ls%22%3A117380.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A117691.39999997616%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="666" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Pero sa industry natin mari-realize mo na hindi nasa ‘yo ang spotlight all the time. Lagi kong iniisip, ate, na baka hindi ko pa talaga time,&quot; she added.</p><p>With this, Miles shared that she always makes sure that she always puts her best foot forward whenever a project is given to her.</p><p>&quot;Kaya once na may ibinigay na project sa ‘yo, that’s the time na galingan mo para time mo to shine, ibigay mo ang best mo kasi hindi mo alam kung sino ang makakapanood nun,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Miles remarked that as an artist, she now aims for longevity rather than gaining popularity.  </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CnmBOJFrdOF/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1525189.5%2C%22ls%22%3A117380.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A117691.39999997616%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="958" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;So, bilang artista kung titingnan ko ang bigger picture hindi na ‘yung pasikatan. Sa longevity na lang talaga ako, kalma ka lang, steady ka lang tapos pag may work ibibigay mo ang best mo kasi doon ko na-realize na anytime puwede kang palitan,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Miles recently made headlines with her performance in the primetime series <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em><strong>FPJ’s </strong></em><em><strong>Batang Quiapo.</strong></em></a></p><p>The actress admitted that she was really pressured considering that she was portraying the role of a young Cherry Pie Picache.</p><p>&quot;Nung i-offer po sa akin na young Ms. Pie nag-yes kaagad ako pero wala pa akong alam sa flow ng story tapos nalaman ko kung paano ‘yung latag, nandoon ‘yung pressure. Kailangan kong mapaniwala ‘yung tao na isa akong ina na umire talaga,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Before her scene aired on television, Miles was already receiving commendations from the executives and production team of the show.</p><p>“Natutuwa po ako na before pa umere ‘yung <em>Batang Quiapo</em> may mga nakapanood na may mga naririnig sila na, ‘grabe nanganak siya talaga? Bakit niya alam.’ Mga ganung comments, masarap pakinggan,&quot; she said.</p><div><iframe width="962" height="541" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5Pa8leJJ14" title="&#x27;FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo Day&#x27; Episode | FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo Trending Scenes" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>When asked how she was able to deliver such a heavy scene that earned her the praises of the televiewers, Miles relayed, &quot;Ate B, inire ko lang talaga, ang instructions sa akin, ‘masakit sa sobrang sakit. Kung ano ang maiisip mong masakit, ‘yun siya.‘ Saka nandoon ka na (set) nakahandusay ka na sa palengke, dugo na po lahat, aarte pa ba ako? Kaya game na.&quot;</p><p>Miles also attributed the success of her performance to the talented production team who shot her scene, which she did in one take.</p><p>&quot;Maraming shots (ginawa) ate, kaya sa mga nagko-comment hindi lang po sa akin ang credit kasi grabe ang alaga nina kuya Coco (Martin) at direk Malu (Sevilla), ‘yung tulong and motivation nila ang nagdala sa akin sa stage na ‘yun at sa moment na ‘yun,&quot; she highlighted.</p>
