JOEM BASCON FINDS WORK-AND-LIFE BALANCE

Reliable actor Joem Bascon feels very happy and honored to be included in the hit GMA Prime series, "Asawa Ng Asawa Ko," he remarked in a recent group interview. It's his debut acting project with the Kapuso network.

Joem's character Leon has changed, as a manner of speaking, by leaps and bounds, from being the leader of Kalasag, an armed group that kidnapped Cristy (played by Jasmine Curtis-Smith) to becoming the latter's lover. Such a transformation also sees Leon, Cristy and Jordan (Rayver Cruz), the husband of Cristy before the abduction happened, in a love triangle. Jordan is now with Shaira (Liezel Lopez), while the former partner of Leon, Hannah (Kylie Padilla), has entered the "Asawa Ng Asawa Ko" storyline.

"I'm happy that they've given me the chance to act for GMA. This is my very first project with the Kapuso network," said Joem.

"So, I'm very glad to be part of a group that is caring. We studied the scenes and the script well. Direk Laurice Guillen looks after us on set... We never thought that the show would run this long."
