Early life

Bandoja was born on March 30, 2001. [2] [3] At 14 years old, Bandoja was admitted by the Tuloy sa Don Bosco; a foundation for abandoned and indigent children ran by Catholic priest Rocky Evangelista. Football was initially just a hobby for Bandoja but she was able to pursue the sport more seriously after the foundation established a football program for girls. [4] [5]

Career

Club

Bandoja became part of Tuloy around 2014 or 2015. [6] 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. [5] [7]

Her career went into hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [6] She did not play in the 2022 PFF Women's Cup but returned to the PFFWL for the 2023 season. [8] 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. [9]

International

Bandoja has been part of pool of the Philippines women's national team since 2019. [10] She has been invited to take part in the team's training camp at least thrice; the latest being in 2023. [11] [12] She has yet to make her first international cap. [11] Bandoja would be named part of the Philippine squad for the 2024 Pinatar Cup [10] [13] and later for the pair of friendlies against South Korea in April 2024. [14]

She has played for the Philippines national futsal team at the 2023 PFF Women’s Tri Nations Futsal Invitational where the team finished second. [11] She captained the Philippine squad which took part at the 2024 ASEAN Women's Futsal Championship in Pasig. [15] [16] She was the team's top scorer, making two out of four goals. [17]

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.
