Club
Bandoja became part of Tuloy around 2014 or 2015.[7] She played for her foundation's club Tuloy F.C. in the PFF Women's League. She was the top scorer for the 2018 and 2019–20 seasons.[6][8]
Her career went into hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] She did not play in the 2022 PFF Women's Cup but returned to the PFFWL for the 2023 season.[9] Along with Dela Salle's Angelica Teves, Bandoja was named co-awardee of the golden boot with both women 19 goals each for the season.[10]
In 2025, Bandoja joined the Pinay5 Futsal Club to play in the High 5 Futsal League.[11][12]
International
Bandoja has been part of pool of the Philippines women's national team since 2019.[13] She has been invited to take part in the team's training camp at least thrice; the latest being in 2023.[14][15] She has yet to make her first international cap.[14] Bandoja would be named part of the Philippine squad for the 2024 Pinatar Cup[13][16] and later for the pair of friendlies against South Korea in April 2024.[17]
She has played for the Philippines national futsal team at the 2023 PFF Women’s Tri Nations Futsal Invitational where the team finished second.[14] She captained the Philippine squad which took part at the 2024 ASEAN Women's Futsal Championship in Pasig.[18][19] She was the team's top scorer, making two out of four goals.[20]
In December 2024, Bandoja along with three fellow players resigned from the national futsal team after the PFF relieved Vic Hermans as head coach and announced a mandatory camp on short notice ahead of the 2025 AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup qualifiers citing that the women's futsal is disorganized.[21][22]
However, Bandoja is among the players announced in April 2025 to have received a call-up for the 2025 AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup competition proper, which the Philippines managed to qualify for.[23]
