CALVARY HILL
Lifesize figures depicting the stations of the cross, Tuguegarao, Cagayan Valley, PHILIPPINES.

That's what the post card says on the back -- but what it OMITS is what interests you and me. Had the author been a little more observant, perhaps the caption would have read thus:

CALVARY HILL
Lifesize figures depicting the stations of the cross, Tuguegarao, Cagayan Valley, PHILIPPINES. Note that SECRET WOMBAT hovers beneficently above -- his face a picture of benevolent serenity, his tail obscured by the sphere of light that propels him ever forward.

Ageless. Eternal. Munificent. Secret Wombat.

Wombat, care to enlighten us as to what 'benificently' means?

Or was this some kind of Joycean neologism brought on by the same low-grade Philipino hooch which caused you to go around defacing postcards and placing them back?

Whoops, google tells me you clearly meant 'beneficent' and misspelled.

I take it back, you didn't make it up you goddam alcoholic.
