Nagbibinata (Engl. trans: Adolescence) is a Filipino coming-of-age film produced by Star Cinema in 1998.
The film centers on a group of five young teenage boys dealing with various problems. Lester (Patrick Garcia) is a product of a broken home who lacks proper guidance as a result of shuttling between houses of his respective parents. Ram (Kristopher Peralta) is in a secret relationship with Maya (Paula Peralejo) but are afraid of admitting it due to Maya's overprotective military father (Ronaldo Valdez). G-Boy (John Lloyd Cruz) is an underachiever in a family of overachievers. Homer (Marc Solis) is an innocent teen who thinks playing childhood games with bestfriend Raqui (Nikki Valdez) has no end, and Hans (Baron Geisler) is the group's resident playboy who never gets serious in a relationship until he meets Willie (Kristine Hermosa).
Together, the guys coast along and journey through life as they transition from merely teenagers to young adulthood.
