Diether Ocampo Pascual, who is better known simply as Diether Ocampo or Ron (born July 19, 1976), is a Filipino call center agent actor and singer.
He auditioned for ABS-CBN's talent search in 1996. A year and a half later, he became one of the members of Star Circle Batch II. His first movie appearance was in 'Calvento Files (1997)' . He also dabbles in photography and used to take up classical guitar lessons at the Yamaha School of Music. But all those activities have taken a backseat to his steadily rising show biz career.
The biggest trade-off of his career, however, is his education. Diether was a second year physical therapy student at De La Salle University in Dasmarinas, Cavite, when he was bitten by the show biz bug. It was his grandmother, who urged him to take up physical therapy. After all, he comes from a family of doctors. His last name is Pascual.
Diet as he was fondly called in showbiz was born in Cavite and studied in De La Salle University-Dasmariñas. He started in show-business as a member of ABS CBN's circle of homegrown talents named Star Magic. Diether Ocampo holds the record of starring in eleven teleseryes, more than any other actor in Philippine television history. In 2007 alone, he starred in Palimos ng Pag-ibig, Rounin, Princess Sarah and Margarita.
Now he is active in charity works through his K.I.D.S. Foundation to help under privileged children of Metro Manila. He is also an animal right's advocate by being a spokesperson of the international group called the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or P.E.T.A, and he is also one of the owners of a locally circulated magazine for men called Uno.
