Holders of Philippines diplomatic or official passports are visa exempted for Austria.

The holders of diplomatic, official and service passports may move within the territory of the Contracting States for three months from the date of entry (if they are not subject to the visa requirements) or for the period provided for by the visa.
Persons accredited by a diplomatic or consular representation and members of their families who hold the card issued by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs may move within the territory of the Contracting States for a maximum period of three months upon production of this card and, if required, the travel document.
III. Regulations governing movements outlined in this document shall apply to laissez-passers issued by the Intergovernmental International Organisations to which all the Schengen States belong to officials of those organisations who, pursuant to the Treaties establishing those Organisations, are exempted from registering with the Immigration Office and from holding a residence permit (see Annex 5 to the Common Manual).

i think you need to get a schengen visa, switzerland as a landing/first point, so you will go to the swiss consulate to do it.

when u travel to austria next (or any next schengen), then there is no need. you need to fill in other schengen states you want to visit on the swiss consulate paper though.

You might still need a Schengen visa. Don't contact the Swiss embassy as the other poster suggested, you need to contact the Austrian embassy/consulate in Bern, Switzerland. I've posted the link below. Up at the very top you'll see a link "Kontakt" - click that and send them a message to inquire. There's also a number to call. HTH!
