Question regarding filter

Hello guys! i am a user of an EM-5 MK II with M. Zuiko 25mm F1.8 prime lens,

Couple months ago i bought myself a cheap UV filter (below 10 usd) just for the sake of protecting the front element of my lens, but it appears that it reflect light sources in my photos as you can see in the first image below (I'm sorry if i used the wrong term, maybe it's not reflect but glare/flare? English isn't my first language) and now there's unwanted blue reflection of lights (First picture, circled in red) this only happen when I'm using the filter.

Second picture is the cheap UV filter I'm currently using that caused this inconvenience

First pic is shot in 1/100, f1.8 and ISO 1600 if that helps, i don't mind getting another filter that's only purpose is to protect front element and no UV difference with or without filter, thanks in advance :)
