954 —In 1954, Ma. Candida Blesilda "Bessie" Mueler Ocampo, a UST architecture freshman, was the first Filipina to land among the 15 semi-finalists. She was in London as part of her prize for winning the Boys Town Miss Philippines contest when she was asked to represent the country in the 1954 Miss Universe Pageant.


Miss Philippines Maria Blesilda Mueller Ocampo was in London when Boys Town Philippines received the confirmation from Oscar Meinhardt, executive producer of Miss Universe Pageant, that she was an official delegate to the pageant. From London, Bessie flew to L.A. and arrived there on July 11 with the European delegates. Bessie was adjudged one of the 16 semi-finalists, the only delegate who listed in her bio that she’s a professional cook. After the pageant, Bessie, Miss Japan Mieko Kondo and Miss Texas Betty Lee and 12 other delegates were offered jobs as showgirls at $150 a week in a fancy Hollywood nightspot, Moulin Rouge Supper Club. Only Lee accepted the offer.
