Mariestella Racal, better known as Maris Racal, is a Filipina actress, singer and dancer who won 2nd Big Placer on Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) All In. She entered the PBB House at the age of 16 and was dubbed as the "Singing Sunshine ng Davao". She gained a fan base known as "Mariestellers" during the course of the show.
Maris grew up in a musically inclined family and learned to sing and play instruments at a young age. She can play the guitar, piano, ukulele and beatbox, some of which she learned on her own by watching various videos online. Aside from being a musician and singer, she also excels in painting, song/poem writing, acting and dancesports.
After her stint in PBB, Maris became a Star Magic artist. In February 2016, Maris was introduced as one of the members of all-girl dance group, Girltrends.
On January 22, 2017, Maris was officially launched as one of the members of ASAP's newest all-girl sing-and-dance group, BFF5.

She also starred with Roberto "Fourth" Solomon Pagotan IV in the 'Dear MOR' episode, the “Kate and Red Story”.
Maris released her first single "Tanong Mo Sa Bituin" in April 2015 as part of Star Record's compilation album "OPM Fresh".
In June 2015, Maris was cast in her first main lead role on big screen as Elena in Tandem Entertainment's film "Stars Versus Me", starring also Manolo Pedrosa as her leading man.
