 This is commonly done for professional reasons, as a woman may want to retain her name among her business contacts or audience.The Civil Code also states that children as the result of the marriage will take the mother's middle name (maiden surname) and the father's surname.To illustrate this, the children of a married couple named "Maria Josefa Lopez Mañego-Luansing" and "Juan Candido Luansing" will take the middle name "Mañego" and the surname "Luansing", so, one daughter with a given name of "Juliana" will be named "Juliana Mañego Luansing".
