The Implication of Credit Card Use on the Financial Mind Set of Filipinos

Jerrico Dimaculangan, Paolo Pargas, & Aliana Cadiang


This is a qualitative research entitled “The implications of Credit Card Usage to Filipino mind set” that aims to assess the interaction between Credit Cards and Filipino users. The researchers have considered Quezon City as well as Caloocan City for ten respondents of both genders and social classification (middle and upper class), with ages ranging from fourteen to forty-five, to participate in a one-on-one interview for the purpose of gathering the needed information to answer the queries in this research, such as, “What are the implications of Credit Card usage on Filipino mind set?” and “How does owning a credit card affect an individual’s household living cost?” 

Based on the accumulated findings, credit card situations and encounters –be it negative or not- contrasts among the respondents; which is due to the apparent differences in their relationship with the credit card itself, as well as, their current financial standings. Hence, in general, it can be said that how a credit card affects a user varies directly on how they handle it; with accordance to several purchasing factors, such as, the purpose and the frequency of usage. In addition to that, the researchers would like to recommend the forthcoming investigators to hope for more interviewees outside the urban areas to acquire information from, as well as, a longer time duration to gather the said data; as, this subject involves a social issue that concerns majority of a nation, and can therefore not be thoroughly analysed with only few respondents.
