Maureen Larrazabal (born September 23, 1979) is a Filipina actress, singer, and commercial model, best known as a cast member of Bubble Gang (since 2013) and for her role as Mara in Pepito Manaloto (since 2013), both aired on GMA Network.

Personal life

Larrazabal is the daughter of Nestor Vera Cruz and Ana Marie Larrazabal. She has two siblings, EJ Leonardo and Raine (Lorraine Ana). She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts with a specialization in Interior Design from St. Paul University Quezon City.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Larrazabal experienced the symptoms of COVID-19 in the last week of July 2020. She underwent self-quarantine for three weeks and her symptoms subsided. However, she tested positive on a swab test on August 25. On September 19, she announced that she tested negative for the virus.

In 2025, Larrazabal revealed that she had previously went blind for two years after having slept without removing her contact lenses, which ended after she underwent a corneal transplant.

Career

Before entering the film industry, Larrazabal appeared in television commercials for Condura Refrigerators, Skin Reborn, and Gilbeys Gin.

Larrazabal began her film career with roles in adult-themed films such as Ekis: Walang Tatakas (1999), Unfaithful Wife 2 (1999), Bulaklak ng Maynila (1999), Sugo ng Tondo (2000), and Blood Surf (2000). Demonstrating her versatility, she later transitioned away from such roles to focus on more wholesome projects. She started accepting television roles, with her first notable role as the weather girl, Carrie, in a comedy sitcom on the GMA Network titled Mikee Forever (1999). This was followed by appearances in other comedy sitcoms, including Iskul Bukol and Gags Must Be Crazy on Viva TV, Home Along Da Riles on ABS-CBN, and Bubble Gang (2013) on GMA Network. She is best known for her role as Mara in Pepito Manaloto: Ang Tunay na Kuwento, which she has played since 2013.

Like some other actresses, both foreign and local, Larrazabal openly admitted that she had breast augmentation. As a result, Larrazabal has graced the covers of some of the Philippines' most popular men's magazines such as FHM Philippines and Maxim Philippines. In 2010, she was voted as FHM Top 25 Sexiest Women of the Decade in Philippines.
