My wife has also different last name in her passports.

In her Filipino passport she has my last name,and in her Belgian passport she has her own last name.

We travel for already 25 years two times a year to Philippines and have had never a problem with that or nobody who asked questions about that also.

The Belgian law required that everybody has his own name in the passport and not the married name.
