Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

You’ve been working for years. Fixing engines. Running businesses. Caring for people. You’ve learned everything on the job. But every time you apply for a promotion, you’re asked for a diploma you never had the time or money to finish. Now, that changes. The ETEEAP Law just gave your experience the power of a degree.

What’s really wrong is that millions of skilled Filipinos are locked out of higher-paying jobs simply because their learning didn’t happen in a classroom. This is a quiet crisis. A wasted workforce. The ETEEAP Law is not just a policy. It’s a shot at justice. And it’s time we study how it can change lives.

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.
