All combinations in the table are correct.

Notice here again that there is no linker after May.

May saging. – There’s a banana.
May turista. – There’s a tourist.
May bata’. – There’s a child.
May kotse. – There’s a car.

Now, meron. You see there is the linker -ng again.

Merong saging. – There’s a banana.
Merong turista. – There’s a tourist.
Merong bata’. – There’s a child.
Merong kotse. – There’s a car.

The meaning is really the same as with may.

Now, marami. Again, with the linker -ng.

Maraming saging. – There are many bananas.
Maraming turista. – There are many tourists.
Maraming bata’. – There are many children. And again, this and all other examples here could also refer to the past. There were many children.
Maraming kotse. – There are many cars.

Finally, let’s use wala’. Wala’ also gets the -ng linker.

Walang saging. – There are no bananas.
Walang turista. – There are no tourists.
Walang bata’. – There are no children.
Walang kotse. – There are no cars.

I think, that’s pretty easy, isn’t it? It’s just a matter of knowing the words.
