It's a nice experience to visit other EU countries.
Schenghen Visa is not difficult to secure, but sometimes it can be a real frustrating pain in the
If you have any specific country in mind you will need to apply at that Embassy/Consulate.

You need to book an appointment and apply in person, with all the needed documents. Normally the holder of Philippine passport will not be issued with the visa on the same day. Maybe you need to wait a couple of weeks.

However, Purple, I have learned (from this forum) that a Schenghen Visa for Germany does not need a personal visit and can be obtained by post.

Might be a big help.

You can travel from Germany to other places (Paris, Barcelona Rome etc) on the way home.
