Some of those who gave it their seal of approval were celebrity friends including Iza Calzado, Loisa Andalio, Janella Salvador, Carlo Aquino, and Diego Loyzaga, among many others.
Surprsingly, there was no comment from boyfriend Rico Blanco.
Maybe he doesn't approve of it?
We could only speculate.
In the caption, Maris admitted to being "quite nervous" while posing for the photos, which she said was her "first professionally done photoshoot wearing a bikini."
She is thankful that many liked it.
