Ocampo made her screen debut as a child actress in the series Mangarap Ka (2004). Apart from being one of the lead in the drama series Mga Anghel na Walang Langit (2005), she became a mainstay in the gag show Goin' Bulilit (2005), Luv U (2012) and Home Sweetie Home (2014). Over the years, she delved more into heavy acting, delivering notable performances in several hit television series such as And I Love You So (2015), Sana Dalawa ang Puso Ko (2018) and Batang Quiapo (2023). She has already appeared in over 20 films in her two decade-long career, gaining widespread acclaim as an actress in One Great Love (2018), Write About Love (2019), and The Missing (2020)[2] which earned her nominations at the Metro Manila Film Festival in major categories.

She is currently a Crown Artist Management talent and one of the hosts of TV5's noontime variety show E.A.T. (2023).

Personal life

Ocampo currently attends the University of the Philippines, studying creative writing.[3] She finished elementary and high school at School of St. Anthony.[4]

She has been in a relationship with Elijah Canlas since 2021. They met on the set of Paano ang Pangako? and also co-starred in the music video of Over October’s hit single Sandali Lang in 2021.[5]

Ocampo underwent surgery in March 2023 to remove her thyroid glands after she was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma, which condition made her wake up in the middle of night having a hard time breathing, get tired easily and gain weight.[6][7]

Career

Ocampo first appeared in television via a Bibbo Hotdog commercial.[8] She then joined Magandang Tanghali Bayan, a noontime variety show, performing on Mondays and Saturdays.[9] Thereafter she appeared in the drama series Mangarap Ka which starred Piolo Pascual and Angelica Panganiban. After appearing in a couple of Maalaala Mo Kaya episodes, Miles joined the kiddie comedy show Goin' Bulilit in 2005 as one of its original cast.[8] She auditioned for the show at age 7, imitating her mom scolding her.[10]

She also starred in Mga Anghel Na Walang Langit and a number of Maalaala Mo Kaya episodes. When she graduated from Goin' Bulilit, she became part of the teen show Luv U.

She is best known for her portrayal as Camille Sarmiento in youth-oriented TV comedy show, Luv U from February 2012 to January 2016 and Gigi in the sitcom Home Sweetie Home from 2014 to 2020. She also starred in several primetime series including Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw as Precious in 2013, And I Love You So as Joanna in 2015–2016, Sana Dalawa ang Puso as Tinay in 2018. In February 2023, she was widely praised for her performance as the young Marites Dimaguiba in FPJ's Batang Quiapo.

She supported in several Star Cinema films including I've Fallen for You (as Kim Chiu's sister), A Very Special Love, You Changed My Life, BFF: Best Friends Forever, and Paano na Kaya, a film By Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson via Star Cinema.

She gave note-worthy performances in the movies One Great Love, Write About Love and The Missing.

In 2019, she bagged her first leading role in a movie in the 2019 Metro Manila Film Festival entry, Write About Love.[11] She was a shoo-in for the role, not being required to audition as the director of the movie, Crisanto Aquino, deemed her to be the only choice for the role.[12]

Ocampo surprised the viewers of the longest running noontime show Eat Bulaga! on March 30, 2022, as she appeared as the newest Dabarkads host.[13] After her almost 1-year stint in Eat Bulaga!, Ocampo took a short break in March 2023 from the show after undergoing surgery after discovering she had papillary thyroid carcinoma.[6][7] She made a short return to the show around April 2023, before leaving the show without any announcement.

She is currently a regular host on TV5's noontime variety show E.A.T., featuring the renowned trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon. [14]
