You don't NEED to change it, but is good to have it changed if you can, since the GC will be issued with your new name. Then when you travel abroad you wont need to have a copy of your marriage license with you. (as the GC name will not match with your name in the passport).

your husband can start filing a K3 petition for you even with or w/o you changing your family name...however, it is much better and alot easier to change your surname in your passport over there in PI than over here in US i suppose...i maybe wrong though...
