Nakapag-jell kami more as a team, nakapag-warm-up, nakapag-loosen up na kami, na nakita naman sa game today,” said Jia Morado, who was credited with 26 excellent sets against Kazakhstan.“So hopefully (Saturday), we can give Indonesia a good fight, and at the same time, hopefully get the win also. Kasi malaking bagay talaga para sa Pilipinas na maipanalo namin bukas,” she added.Indonesia defeated the Philippines, 25-20, 25-20, 24-26, 25-22, Saturday, with Manganang scoring 28 points.The powerful open hitter will surely be the focus of the Philippines defense in the rematch.“Alam naman natin na nag-fourth set ‘yung laro natin doon,” noted Mylene Paat, who had 14 points against Kazakhstan. “Siguro, more focus lang, tsaka mas lalaong ma-challenge kami sa mga darating na pagsubok.”<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
