You need the CEMAR (Form 5 advisory of Marriage). The 19 y.o. will need a CENOMAR, the other children do not .. this is age specific. https://ph.usembassy.gov/important-visa-information/ https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MNL-Manila.html NVC should have all the appt scheduled together with you. If you get an expedite then you schedule your own interview and you schedule you children at the same time (normally, some things are being handled different because of the virus BS) . You will get a letter/email from NVC
