It's an urban legend so I'm afraid not very true at all but a very funny story nonetheless. The snake boys origin supposedly derives from the unfortunate birth of a twin that happened to be born half boy half snake, the name of the other half of the twin is 'Robina' a female who is supposed to also be disfigured in some way (this has been found to be untrue). The father John Gokongwei is the head of the Robinson empire which includes the Malls where the snake is supposed to appear.
The snake boy is legend to stand guard over the many dressing roomed mirrors which are secret trap doors that occupy the Malls and at certain times of day he would show himself and drag unsuspecting customers into the mirror and almost certainly to a bloody demise. Although the legend suggests that it is only women he preys on for his dark fulfillment.
This legend seemed to have popped up conveniently during the 1980s when many rivals to the Robinsons malls had been affected by such high competition, the coincidence seems to make sense of the myth. John Gokongwei has six children and has only one son who holds the most authority amongst all his children and helps him with his empire. The rest of the children help in varying positions in his businesses. As he is a very successful entrepreneur and self-made millionaire, it is not surprising to hear stories like this rumour around him.
