5 Best Thesis Topics on Social Welfare Assistance in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

One family almost went bankrupt trying to pay for a sudden hospital bill. The father worked in logistics. The mother had a small sari-sari store. They didn’t ask for help because they thought “government aid is only for the poor.” Two weeks later, their daughter dropped out of school to work. Not because help wasn’t available. But because no one told them the truth.

Here’s what’s really wrong. We have national aid programs like DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS), meant for anyone in crisis. Rich or poor. Job or no job. But most Filipinos don’t know this. Or worse, they believe a lie. The result? People suffer quietly. Families break. And myths keep killing access to help that’s meant to be universal.

Get Your Thesis Title — or Keep Getting Rejected

Bestie, let’s stop pretending you’ve “got it covered.”

You’re here because:

• Your title keeps getting rejected

• You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

• You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.

That’s what the Thesis Toolkit gives you:

✅ YTB Thesis Title Booster – because you need legit, research-based topics based on current trends — not random ones na “maganda pakinggan.”

✅ Thesis Title Builder – because you keep forgetting na kailangan may survey source or research instrument ka rin, hindi lang title.

✅ Research Gap Finder – because most of your drafts get rejected for one reason: Walang gap.

YOU NEED THIS IF...

• You're tired of starting over

• You're afraid to open your adviser’s feedback

• You want a title, gap, and source na adviser-friendly and academically sound

This isn’t optional.
It’s either you use this toolkit...
or you keep wasting weeks writing titles na walang mapupuntahan.
