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).
