Mamang Sorbetero Meets ‘Star Wars’ Characters
The public sighting of R2D2 and the Troopers coincided with the celebration of May the 4th which is considered Star Wars Day by fans of the franchise all over the world.
Locally, the “holiday” is spearheaded by The Philippine Outpost of the 501st Legion, an international organization of Star Wars fans who dress up as the bad guys from a galaxy far, far away.
Known as the Bad Guys Who Do Good, members of the 501st wear their costumes at events in order to raise funds for charity, especially children’s causes.
