In 2019, Andes transferred to the Bulldogs of National University. He made two appearances, but the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Andes would forgo his last season of eligibility to play professionally. [8]
In 2022, Andes signed for Dynamic Herb Cebu in the Philippines Football League. However, instead of his position at striker, he was listed as a defender. [9] He made his debut in a 4–3 win over Stallion Laguna, but made only two appearances for the Gentle Giants before being let go in early 2023.
In 2025, Andes rejoined Cebu during the club's preparations for the ASEAN Club Championship. He scored in both legs against Kasuka of Brunei to bring Cebu to the group stage, [10] scoring in a home game against Selangor. [11] He also proved important for the club in the PFL, scoring a late winner against Stallion and racking up 5 goals in 7 games. [12]
Andes was signed by Loyola ahead of the 2024–25 season of the PFL, [13] where he shifted back to the striker position. He scored on his debut in a 4–1 loss to Maharlika. He would end up as one of the top scorers that season, scoring 9 goals in 14 games. [14]
Before the 2019 AFF U-22 Youth Championship, Andes was called up to the national team for the first time, representing the U-23 team. [15] [16] He made his debut in a 2–1 loss to Vietnam, coming on in the 79th minute for Ray Sanciangco. [17]
