Marnel "Mac" Baracael (born April 14, 1985 in Quezon province) is a professional Filipino basketball player who currently plays for the Barako Bull Energy of the Philippine Basketball Association. Baracael was drafted sixth overall by the Alaska Aces in the 2011 PBA draft. Baracael played college basketball in FEU and started his pro career by playing for Smart Gilas.

Amateur career
Baracael was a former cager of MSEUF. In 2006, Baracael, also known as “Macmac”, transferred to Far Eastern University of the UAAP. After serving his residency, he became part of the FEU Tamaraws Senior basketball team on the account of his agility, one-on-one defense and outside shooting.

Shooting/apparent attempted assassination
On July 24, 2008, Baracael was shot by an unidentified assailant. [1] He was walking outside the FEU campus in front of a PhilTrust Bank branch, in the corner of Morayta and R. Papa St. Marnel, Barcael was with his teammates Ron Cabagnot and Robert Kave when the suspect fired two gunshots. One bullet hit the left side of the player’s back and the bullet exited from the lower portion of his nipple. Baracael was rushed to the Mary Chiles Hospital but was later on transferred to Capitol Medical Center. Allegedly, Mac Baracael was shot not only to warn him or scare him but it was intended to put the player to complete silence. Motives behind the attempted assassination are still unknown, but it was believed that the incident was related to a game-fixing issue that Mac Baracael said to have reported earlier to FEU management.
