Almoraima - 6 vs 12 question..

regarding the falsetta Paco plays @ 0:29 -

I've always felt it as a phrase based on 6's. And it starts on 12, but when it repeats would start on a 6. (if you're thinking in 12's)

And if you are of the type that needs bulerias to be in 12, it works out to be 4 compases of 12 (which I can see supports that thinking). But again, that seems counterproductive for what's really happening musically

Curious though if the majority of player here feel it as a bunch of phrases in 6. And for that matter, it's like 5 chunks of sixes, and sounds like it's gonna repeat, but then it's 3 chunks of sixes. And then the next falsetta begins..
