How to display only parent category (without child categories) on a post loop?

I have: 

<span class="entry-category"><?php the_category(', '); ?></span>

What should I do?

You can get category and check parent field for each entry like;

<?php
    $categories = get_the_category();
    if($categories){
        foreach($categories as $category) {
            if ($category->parent < 1) {
                // Your action here
            }
        }
    }
?>

foreach (get_the_category() as $cat) {  
    $parent = get_category($cat->category_parent);
    if (!get_category($cat->category_parent)) {
        // do something with the category, like use it to create a new query_posts or something
    }
}
