It is already a common myth to Filipinos that the rumor about the snake man dwelling at the basement of Robinson's Galleria. The Filipino story and myth was said to have originated from one of the employees of the mall, working at the engineering department.
Engineering department of the said mall has not released a statement since then but many people believed in these things even if there's no evidence. These kinds of stories could mean good or bad publicity for these establishments. Well, it's still publicity so maybe that's the reason why the administration of Robinson's Galleria have kept mum about it.

According to the rumor, the snake man is permitted to have CCTV access to the Robinson's Galleria cameras. The said entity can easily spy on different women, even in the dressing rooms of the mall. In the story, the snake man would flip a switch at the place where the woman he likes is. The flip switch would draw a hole where the woman will drop falling straight into his arms.
Alice Dixson, a popular actress and former Miss Universe Philippines was rumored to be a victim of the Snake Man and the administration just paid her so she would keep her silence.
When asked in UP School of Economics in 2008, Gokingwei-Pe delivered a speech addressing the rumor. Dixson said:
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!
