Is this some kind of ritual or festival or such or did they have that just for fun?
Really nice expressions

ah I see
no problem
Santa - Holy
Cruz - Cross
Santacruzan - Search of the holy Cross? Is that a valid translation? ^^
Aha, it's about Christianizing and the Holy Cross being brought back to Rome.... You've many church festivals in the Philippines, huh? ^^ - Here, we don't have that many... (Or let's say, not anymore... Just Easter and Christmas are celebrated, and maybe some others which are less important... The rest slowly gets forgotten...)

Because Filipino are very traditional people.
We're not only celebrating one or two festivals every year sometimes they tend to add more so we celebrate more than 10 festivals a year.
