According to the story, the snakeman had access to the mall's CCTV cameras, and would spy on women in the dressing rooms. If he saw a woman he liked, he would flip a switch and the woman would drop through a hole in the floor, straight into his arms.
Actress Alice Dixon was once rumored to be among the snake's almost-victims, and was allegedly paid a considerable amount to keep her silence.
In a speech Gokongwei-Pe gave in 2008 at the University of the Philippines' School of Economics, she tackled the rumors, telling the graduating students:
"I have no idea who started this incredible story, but I have to tell you that some people believed it and even started staring at my legs to see if there were any signs of snakeskin. A few people still ask me about it, and I have to tell them na naging handbag na ho sa Robinsons Department Store.
"Thank goodness there was no Internet yet at that time, or you would start receiving photos of me with a snake's body and my kakambal na snake with a woman's legs," she said.
In short the Robinsons Snake story is Hoax. It's not true, even Alice Dixon denied it.
