You will just need a Red Ribbon when you will change your last name in your passport at DFA.

I have not heard of Red Ribbon being asked for in many years.

DFA only requires NSO documents.

http://www.passport.com.ph/info/requirements/for/renewal

For spouse of foreign national who would like to use their married surname:
  • Marriage Contract (MC) in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) or Certified True Copy (CTC) of MC issued by the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) and duly authenticated by NSO. Transcribed Marriage Contract from the LCR is required when entries in NSO Marriage Contract are blurred or unreadable.
  • Report of Marriage duly authenticated by NSO if married abroad
  • Original and photocopy of Commission of Filipino Overseas (CFO) Guidance and Counseling Certificate of Attendance (required for first time applicants or renewal of passport to be used for the first time the surname of the husband)
