Fernando Hizon Ocampo was a Filipino Architect and Civil Engineer. Born August 7, 1897, in San
Fernando, Pampanga, he was the son of Dr. Basilio Ocampo and Leoncia Hizon.
One of Manila's renowned architects, Ocampo was educated at the Ateneo de Manila A.B., in 1914; University of Santo Tomas, Civil Engineering, 1919; and University of Pennsylvania, Bachelor of Architecture, 1921. Following his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, he worked in the office of Mr. Emile Perrot, an architect in Philadelphia, and then spent two years traveling in Europe, giving particular attention to architectural designs. Returning to Manila he was for four years an assistant architect in the Bureau of Public Works. In 1927 he became associated with architect Tomas Arguelles and established Arguelles and Ocampo, architects.
Many of Manila's finest business buildings and residences attest to Ocampo's ability as an architect and
engineer. Among these are the Manila Cathedral; UST Central Seminary; the Arguelles, Paterno (later
became Far Eastern Air Transport Inc. or FEATI), Ayala, Cu Unjieng and Cu Unjieng and Fernandez
buildings; the Assumption Academy of Pampanga and the residence of Mr. Joaquin Baltazar, the latter
having taken the first prize in the 1930 beautiful home contest.
