Hi :D
Yes, it's a "chant" we sing when playing "rock-paper-scissors" game. The one I know is just like this:
Jack N' Poy
Holi Holi Hoy
Sino'Ng Matalo
Siyang Unggoy!
The shorter version.
Ang Pag-salin:
"Jack 'N Poy" -        Jack and Poy 
"Holi Holi Hoy" -      * this one are just words picked out to rhyme with the first one. 
"Sino'Ng Matalo" -  Whoever loses 
"Siyang Unggoy!" - will be the monkey 
~ anyone could correct me if I'm wrong.
Have a nice day :D

we actually use that "chant" in playing "rock-paper-scissors" game. 
I don't know how or when it was first played though, but I would play that popular game with my playmates when I was a little boy. 
Basically, the last part "sino'ng matalo... s'yang ungoy" means: "whoever looses would be the monkey (or would look like a monkey).
