Does the Chinese embassy of the Philippines still offer walk in service for Americans?

I will be visiting the Philippines and applying for a Chinese Visa from there. I had heard that I needed a travel agency to get a Chinese Visa from the embassy. On your website it says that I can simply go in person and apply. Is this still true or has it changed? I would love to walk into the embassy, apply, and be on my way to China in a week. Please give me any information you may have. Thank you for your time!
