Bascon's first relevance in the entertainment industry came due to his supposed resemblance to established entertainers
Piolo Pascual and
Sam Milby. However, he has since tried to create his own image. Speaking to the Philippine Star Supreme, he says, "To be compared with Piolo and Sam is really flattering especially when I was just starting, but I want now to be known as myself, as Joem Bascon, to finally have my own identity." Bascon is into weightlifting, boxing and kettle bell training. == Education ==
