The postcard shows a painting by Robert A. Alejandro entitled Life at Sea. I found a website of a "Robert A. Alejandro" but am not sure if he is the same person who did the painting. I just assumed that they are the same person. Award-winning Filipino designer Robert A. Alejandro offers a wide range of graphic design services from concept to completion. His projects include book and magazine design, including book cover art and illustration for children's books, coffee table books, art books and more.

I couldn't find additional information about the painting nor its location (private collection or museum).
Harana is a traditional form of courtship music in which a man woos a woman by serenading her underneath her window at night. It is widely practiced in many parts of the Philippines with a set of protocols, a code of conduct, and a specific style of music. The main instrument used for Harana is the Guitar, played by the courter, although other string instruments such as the Ukulele and less frequently, the Violin and Trumpets are also used.

The postcard shows a still life painting by Greg Bolaños entitled Guyabanos. I was able to find an article about the life of the painter entitled "King of Pastel gets his due". It stated that Greg Bolaños is acknowledged as the King of Pastel. The subjects for Bolanos have also remained the still-lifes, nudes, and portraits that he’s been known for.

I couldn't find additional information about the painting nor its location (private collection or museum), but National Bookstore owner Socorro Ramos has still-life collections done by Bolaños.
Guyabano or soursop is somewhat difficult to eat, as the white interior pulp is studded with many large seeds, and pockets of soft flesh are bounded by fibrous membranes. Comparisons of its flavour range from strawberry and pineapple mixed together to sour citrus flavour notes contrasting with an underlying creamy roundness of flavour reminiscent of coconut or banana.
