Here is what it states on the DFA website:

• No need to submit a passport size photo
• Valid picture IDs and supporting documents to prove identity (Please refer to List of Acceptable IDs and List of Supporting Documents)

Its show 4 locations when I clicked on the SET APPOINTMENT button.

The next page after choosing a location has details for setting the appointment and printing out the confirmation page.

(I used Manila for checking it out, of course choose a location better suited to you)
