MANILA, Philippines—The Philippines failed to exact revenge on Indonesia in the Southeast Asian (SEA) VLeague.

In the bronze medal match of the VLeague’s Thailand leg, the Indonesians swatted away the Philippine national women’s volleyball team in four sets, 22-25, 25-21, 25-22, 26-24, on Sunday.

The same result happened in the first leg when the Nationals succumbed to the eventual bronze medalists, 20-25, 17-25, 21-25, last week in Vietnam.
