Santa Cruz follows the civil time used across its region of Philippines; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier Asia/Manila is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Manila keeps pointing at Manila time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
