Depends.   

Do your plan to complete Report of Marriage?  Do you want your Philippine passport in your married name?  Do you plan to ever buy/own land in your married name in the Philippines?   

Answer yes to any of those and that is the answer to your question as well.

@Hank_ any advice in my situation? coz my marriage cert is already in american naming convention i retain my middle name and change only the last name, im in the process of filing AOS do u think wen is the best to change my name in court? after i receive green card or before i fill the AOS? coz my plan was put my name in filipino naming convention in AOS forms but they might notice it in my marriage cert

You can change your name during Naturalization that is true.    

 

Most states do not allow for the middle name to be changed when getting marriage.   

 

Completing AOS in the traditional Philippine naming format is a possibility.   My wife did that, then made it official during naturalization

I know of some that USCIS would not follow the name as shown on the I-485 and kept the middle name as shown on the original visa, but no RFE for that.  Like said naturalization allows you to legally change your name.

 

You are stressing too much about this.

 

You can still complete ROM using traditional naming format on the form.  The form you complete for ROM .. THAT is what will show up at PSA when you request a copy of your marriage certificate later.  Not a copy of your marriage certificate.   And THAT will allow you to get your Philippine passport in your traditional married name.

There are always exceptions, those that slide by without issue.   I have heard of many more where they "got called" on it.  Sort of like with the embassy when an original document is required and they slide by with a copy.

 

Which information would you give?
