Robina Gokongwei-Pe pokes fun at 'snake twin' urban legend

Robinsons Land Director Robina Gokongwei-Pe playfully addressed persistent urban legends by posting a photo with snake decorations at a Robinsons Department Store, coinciding with the Year of the Snake.

The photo, featuring Gokongwei-Pe with snake decors on her arms, was accompanied by a caption referring to them as her "shining, shimmering golden twin" and his girlfriend.

These decorations allude to an old rumor, originating in the 1980s, claiming Gokongwei-Pe had a half-man-half-snake twin, also known as Taong Ahas, hidden in a fitting room.

The urban legend also alleged that Alice Dixson was a victim, falling down a trapdoor while trying on clothes.

Gokongwei-Pe had previously denied these rumors, even offering a reward to anyone who could find the mythical creature.

The urban legend was revisited in 2018 when Robinsons Galleria used a commercial featuring Alice Dixson to promote its mall renovation, playing on the 'snake twin' myth.

Alice Dixson herself denied the myth in 2020.
