All the Times Maris Racal Proved That Without Her, the Internet Would Be Boring AF
Aug 24, 2021 • Kyzia Maramara
Entertainers can pack up now, Maris Racal has proven time and again she might be the only thing the internet needs to have a good time. This 23-year-old woman sings, dances, acts, vlogs, makes her own music, and… creates her own memes? She’s an all-around social media star that’s always rife with top-notch hilarious content ready to share with the world. Antics such as these ones:

Let’s start with the latest entertainment bomb Maris dropped on us. She reenacted a whole scene from the 1994 classic Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. Maris didn’t need special props to seamlessly switch between Maricel Soriano and Zsa Zsa Padilla’s roles nor did she need someone to operate the background music. Directing, cinematography, lead acting role, supporting acting role, improvised BGM, makeup, wardrobe? She can do all that on her own, thank you very much.

Her unconventional way of greeting a friend

Back in July, Maris took to Instagram to greet a friend for his birthday and she did it in her usual kalog style: by posting two stunning solo selfies sans the birthday boy. Said friend Joric Pecson left a comment with a question we all had in mind: ‘San siya diyan? But Queen Maris has set off a trend. From now on we greet friends celebrating their birthdays with our own selfies, okay?!
When she literally manifested her relationship with Rico Blanco

If you aren’t yet sold on the theory that Maris Racal is the internet’s favorite, her relationship with Rico Blanco is solid proof. The internet suspected something was up when the actress posted a sweet birthday greeting for the former Rivermaya frontman. And then on May 31, during an online press conference, Maris admitted that yes, she and Rico are in fact dating. It had the internet shookt but mostly out of kilig. Maris herself was surprised that no one minded the 25-year age gap (they are consenting adults after all).

Pretty soon, the internet dug up evidence that Maris might have manifested this relationship. Back in 2017 she tweeted “Hay Rico Blanco when will I hear you sing live?” It’s the Maris Racal version of Maine Mendoza’s “Arjo cutie.” And it worked.
This iconic walk

When Maris posted this video on Twitter, she probably didn’t think it would be an integral part of Philippine meme culture. The video shows her all glammed up and doing a fierce runway walk with her friends Sue Ramirez and Loisa Andalio. “San tayo,” the caption simply read. To date, it has spawned hundreds of memes — the impact! — and continues to do so:

That iconic moment with Iñigo Pascual
Sinapian ata ako ni Ivy Aguas kagabi. Thank you sa pag awat, Papapeh. pic.twitter.com/XGQyYvHgSU

Maris herself admitted that this 2017 memeable moment caught at the Star Magic Ball was hilarious. It looked like a classic “Pigilan mo’ko” moment where she’s ready to attacc and Inigo was holding her back. “Sinapian ata ako ni Ivy Aguas kagabi. Thank you sa pag awat, Papape,” she captioned her tweet. That’s in reference to Maja Salvador’s character in the ABS-CBN hit soap Wildflower. To this day this moment still illicit a chuckle from us.
Queen of reaction videos

Speaking of memes, there’s more than one of her and they’re mostly made by *tada* Maris herself. Just like these two hilarious reaction videos she posted of her typing away at a laptop — again, a meme that solidified itself in Philippine pop culture. In one she is crying, mascara-stained tears streaming down her face, a moment we know all too well while encountering work-from-home frustrations. In the other she is haughtily typing away a.k.a. the face you make when a client is being too obnoxious via email.

Top-tier memes from the goddess of the internet herself. These videos show us two things: 1) Maris can captivate and break the internet with just a short video and 2) she is a confident queen who comfortably lets herself be the subject of many memes to come.
Her gold mine of a TikTok account
And if you think Facebook, Twitter, Instagram are the only places where Maris posts her hilarious shenanigans, you’ll see more of that on her TikTok. It’s where she unleashes her creativity and humor like these videos:
