For the second consecutive month, the Philippine women's national volleyball team absorbed a loss against Indonesia. Once again, fans are laser-focused on the subject of their irecoach Jorge Souza de Brito.

And unlike the battle for bronze in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games, host country Indonesia swept the match, 25-17, 25-20, 25-10, to top Pool A of the AVC Challenge Cup for women.

Petro Gazz Angels' veteran Aiza Maizo-Pontillas was one of the bright spots for the Philippines, but fans were not too pleased when she was subbed out. 

They even unearthed an old AVC match where Pontillas scored a point against China's Zhu Ting. Fans were also wondering about Petro Gazz setter Djanel Cheng, who was vital in the Philippines' victory over Macau. They also asked de Brito, who is also the coach of the Akari Chargers in the PVL, to maybe not practice jump serves during the competition. Some have also noted that Akari recruit Faith Nisperos has a good float serve anyway.

She did have a fangirl moment with Megawati Pertiwi.

All is not lost for the Philippines though. The Filipinas will still move on to the quarterfinals this Wednesday and will face Pool C leader India.
