Maris Racal Returns to PBB as Celebrity House Guest
MARIS RACAL – Filipino actress and singer-songwriter Maris Racal surprised fans with her return to the Pinoy Big Brother house as a special celebrity guest.
Maris Racal has made an exciting return to the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) house, delighting fans with her surprise appearance in the ongoing PBB Celebrity Collab Edition. The announcement came through the official PBB Facebook page, where a photo of Maris standing at the iconic PBB door was shared with the caption: “Ang Singing Sunshine ng Davao is finally back. Andito na si Maris Racal!”
Maris initially captured the hearts of many when she joined Pinoy Big Brother: All In in 2014, where she finished as the season’s runner-up. Her unique charm, musical talent, and natural charisma earned her the nickname “Singing Sunshine ng Davao,” a title that continues to resonate with her supporters today.

Following her PBB stint, Maris signed with Star Magic and quickly built a successful career in both television and film. She appeared in several well-known drama series, including Hawak Kamay, Maalaala Mo Kaya, Ipaglaban Mo!, and Ang Probinsyano. On the big screen, she starred in hits like Vince & Kath & James, The Breakup Playlist, Block Z, and Bloody Crayons. In 2023, she landed one of her most talked-about roles as Irene Tiu in ABS-CBN’s Can’t Buy Me Love, where her on-screen pairing with Anthony Jennings became a fan favorite.
Aside from acting, Maris is also known for her work as a singer-songwriter, dancer, vlogger, endorser, and entrepreneur. Her personal life has often drawn media attention, particularly her relationships—first with Iñigo Pascual, and later with musician Rico Blanco, whom she dated from 2021 until early 2024. In late 2024, she was involved in a controversy with Anthony Jennings that sparked public interest due to leaked messages and online apologies.
Now back in the PBB house, Maris joins the ranks of other high-profile celebrity guests such as Barbie Forteza, Heart Evangelista, and Dingdong Dantes. Her return promises new moments of nostalgia, drama, and excitement for both longtime fans and new viewers alike.
