MILES OCAMPO is a Kapamilya actress but IdeaFirst Company borrowed her and she now gets to play the pivotal role of Isabel in TV5 and Cignal’s hit primetime teleserye, “Paano ang Pangako?”
“As Isabel, I play the daughter of Gilleth Sandico, who works for the family of Tita Bing Loyzaga,” says Miles. “Pag-aagawan ako rito nina Elijah Canlas as Noel and Kyle Velino as Drake.”
She’s lucky because in “Gameboys”, now shown on Netflix, Elijah and Kyle are rivals over Kokoy de Santos.
“Yes, ngayon, babae na ang pinag-aagawan nila,” she laughs. “I’m really thankful sa projects na bigay sa akin ng IdeaFirst Company. I’m happy na pinag-aagawan nila ako and happy to work with them both kasi ang gagaling nila and pati ang iba pa naming kasama sa series.”
In real life, she has never had a boyfriend since birth, and yet now, two guys are fighting over her.
“Yes,” she agrees. “Sabi siguro ni Lord, hindi mo pa nararanasan yang love sa totoong buhay, pero heto sa teleserye, mae-experience mo yan. So kahit sa teleserye man lang, maranasan ko ito.
"But although wala pa akong experience sa love, my friends, they often ask me for my advice about love and naa-appreciate naman nila ang mga sinasabi ko sa kanila.”
It’s good Star Magic allowed her to work with TV5?
“Yes, nagsabi naman po ako. Ang tagal ko na ring wala regular soap. My last was ‘Sana Dalawa ang Puso’, which was three years ago pa. So I’m glad this offer for ‘Paano ang Pangako’ came. At least, may bagong teleserye ako.”
So how is it doing lock in taping for “Paano ang Pangako” in San Pablo?
“Maganda ang samahan namin sa set ng buong cast kasi kahit first time ko silang nakatrabaho, naging comfortable kami agad sa isa’t isa.
"Lahat sila sa teleseryeng ito, napakagaling, nakakahiya kung hindi mo gagalingan kasi madadala ka kapag kaeksena mo sila.
"Si Elijah, kahit hindi ako naiiyak, kapag nakita ko na siya, maiiyak na rin ako. Napakagaling din niyang magbadminton, which we do on our rest days. Pagod na kaming lahat, pero siya, hindi pa.”
