I am Filipino going to Istanbul. I will be applying for Turkey visa. One of the stopover from San Diego to Turkey is Paris CDG (waiting time 2 hours) then on a different date after two weeks, i have to go to Brazil where my stopover is Munich, Germany. The waiting time in Munich is 40 minutes as per the itinerary. Do I need to apply for a Schengen visa or transit vîsa?

(Have to modify my statement for clarity)

If you only have one short layover in the Schengen area per journey, you can generally transit without visa. In your case, it will be possible both in Paris and Munich. Filipino citizens don't need visas for airside transit in most Schengen countries, even without US green card. For some reason, the only Schengen country applying restrictions for airside transit is Hungary but in that case the US green card would still exempt you from the airport transit visa requirement, so you are fine in any case.

See Do I need a visa to transit (or layover) in the Schengen area? for a full explanation of the rules.
