For a Schengen Visa, you will need to go to an embassy of one of the countries that have signed up to the Schengen Agreement. The countries that belong to this group include the following 25 countries; Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Switzerland, Denmark, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia and Lithuania.
As with all passports you will to go to have your photos taken at a specialist shop or where you are able to find a photo booth as they will normally only accept passport-sized photos that fit carefully inside the photo section of a passport.
You will also need travel insurance, bank statements as well as your return flight details that you must bring along to the embassy. If you do not have all of these with you, then you will be unable to complete a visa application at a Schengen member state embassy.
It is important to realise that all passport holders of the Philippines must apply for a Schengen visa in order to visit one or more of these member states. The period that this visa is valid is a maximum of up to 90 days, within a six-month period for business or pleasure. These certain types of visas are unfortunately not valid to gain lawful employment and you will not be able to make any application within three months before you intend to visit. In the majority of cases, when you apply for a visa the Schengen embassies will all follow pretty much the same procedure in processing the visa applications so I wouldn't be overly concerned with choosing a particular embassy.
