Answer 1

If you only show one passport, they won't know your name changed.  Just pick one.

Answer 2

You ALWAYS show only ONE passport to an immigration officer when entering a country. I repeat ALWAYS. This would be the same passport you will show them on your way out too.  Never tell immigration that you are a dual citizen unless YOU ARE ASKED.

Having said that, it doesn't matter which passport you show. Maybe the one with the exact same name as on your plane ticket. Pick one.

Answer 3

When you book your flight be sure to give them your right information. Because whatever name you give them it should match exactly what's on your passport or else you would have some problem.

Answer 4

Just present the Philippine passport to the Immigration Officer when you enter the Philippines - there should be no problem.

When you leave the Philippines after your 24 day visit, you need to present the passport with the same name as your airline ticket.

Have a nice day !

Answer 5

use the passport with the same surname with your ticket, actually you should use your British passport since that is the latest one. Bring some documents with you, as a proof that you change name, you are already a British citizen since you have a British passport, unless you have a dual citizenship you need to present both.  Bring both but don't present both, what ever in the ticket should be the one, so no confusion.
