Wonder why the named the the film the blossoming of him, he became withdrawn saw his father killed and the man he liked was there even though he was too old for him, I guess you could say the blossoming as at times the boy grew up I was sad for him

I'm guessing they wanted to evoke the more emotional aspect of coming of age, rather than the physical aspect (since "pagdadalaga" literally translates to "puberty"). It was sadder than I remember it, yes. 💖💔
