Career

In 1973, the 23rd annual Miss World pageant was held at the Royal Albert Hall in England. Fifty four delegates vied for the crown, with Miss United States Marjorie Wallace emerging as the winner and 16-year-old Pascual as first runner-up. However, Wallace was fired from her duties as Miss World; pageant organisers extended an offer to Pascual to carry out the duties of Miss World for the remainder of the year without being officially granted the title; Pascual had already signed a film contract and turned down the Miss World offer, which was then accepted by second runner-up Miss Jamaica Patsy Yuen.
She has appeared in film with Fernando Poe, Jr. in Ang Pangalan: Mediavillo, and with Ramon Zamora in The Game of Death and The Dragon Force Connection. She starred also in Mission: Get The Mastermind with Roberto Gonzales, The Exit with Tony Ferrer, and Golden Chaku with Rey Malonzo.
Pascual played as the mother of Valeria played by Sheryl Cruz in GMA-7's TV series Bakekang starring Sunshine Dizon. And she played as the wife of Juan Rodrigo, and the mother of Matteo Guidicelli in Paraiso of ABS-CBN.
