The back of the postcard reads:
This dance depicts the movement of the duck as it walks and plays in the water while calling for its mate. it is popular among the settlers of Surigao Province.

I found out that the Filipinescas Dance Troupe is a 38-man dance group that toured Europe during the 1960s. The tour is entitled Filipinescas: Philippine Life, Legend, and Lore in Dance (not Love in Dance as read in the postcard), a stage presentation depicting Philippine life and its rich cultural traditions.
