Why You Should Consider Credit Cards
Obtaining a credit card can seem a bit intimidating because of the responsibilities that come along with having one. This is complicated especially for those who are beginners or those who have no credit history.
Photo from Unsplash
However, owning your own credit card is actually safer than carrying cash. It is also better than debit cards because it has stronger fraud protection features.
There are a lot of beginner-friendly credit cards you can choose from. But before anything else, there are aspects you need to consider as you level up your financial independence journey.
What to Look for in Credit Cards
Photo from Unsplash
If you are a beginner and plan to acquire your own credit card, it is important for you to look into the following aspects as you apply for one.
Low Annual Fee
For a beginner, look for credit cards with low annual fees that do not go over ₱2,000.
Low Credit Card Fees
Focus on credit cards with low fees, particularly the late payment fee and over-limit fee. You will be charged a late payment fee when you do not pay on time. Meanwhile, you will be required to pay the over-limit pay when you overspend beyond your credit limit.
Credit Card Benefits that are fitting for you
Look into cards that have benefits that are fitting for you. Cards have different spending categories such as rewards for shopping, travel, dining, and many more. There are a lot of beginner-friendly cards that appeal to the abovementioned spending categories.
Security Features
Choose credit cards that have great security features. This is safe, especially when credit card fraud has peaked during the pandemic. Credit Card issuers have different security features, which is why it is great to ask your credit card issuer for security details.
Take your financial independence to the next level and apply for your first credit card. And remember, use your credit cards responsibly.

New Variant: COVID-19 XBB.1.5
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Covid-19 variant dashboard showed that there is a new variant which is the XBB.1.5. The new variant came from two different BA.2 variants. The XBB.1.5 is said to be related to the XBB variant which was responsible for the surge in Singapore.
This variant is more infectious than the others and spreads easily as well. The new variant is also concerning since it is highly immune evasive than other XBB omicron variants.

According to the director of Covid-19 sequencing at the University of Washington School of Medicine’s virology lab, Pavitra Roychoudhury, they have not witnessed other variants that take off with such speed as the XBB.1.5.
Epidemiologists and Virologists suggest that the new variant could have features that can possibly cause a surge of new cases in the US.
COVID-19 XBB.1.5 Symptoms
The new variant’s symptoms do not have any differences from the existing COVID symptoms. According to Dr. Arwady, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health, people who are vaccinated do have symptoms similar to the common cold only.

Area with the Highest XBB.1.5 Variant Cases
As of now, the U.S. has the highest number of XBB.1.5 cases with more than 40%. This is according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s tracking numbers.

No XBB.1.5 Variant Cases in the Philippines
The Department of Health informed that there are no reported cases of XBB.1.5 variant in the Philippines. DOH assured everyone that there are still COVID-19 surveillance measures to be implemented to make sure that potential variant will be detected when it enters the country.
