Career highlights and awards

As a member of the Siquijor Mystics, Buenafe was involved in a controversial 2021 Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup game against the Lapu-Lapu City Heroes. The scandal caused the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup to impose a lifetime ban on the members of Siquijor, including Buenafe. On October 2021, after a six month investigation, the Philippine Games and Amusements Board revoked Buenafe's professional license, along with other members of the Mystics, effectively barring them from playing professional basketball in the Philippines.[3]
