Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

On a Wednesday morning in Sibalom, Antique, more than 268 students suddenly collapsed or complained of dizziness, chest pains, vomiting and chills. The smell that triggered it all was described as something rotten. Like spoiled guava. The stench came from nowhere but was strong enough to send children to hospitals. Some schools shut down. Both hospitals in the area are overwhelmed. And yet, no one still knows what exactly caused it.

What’s really wrong here? We are not prepared. Not for chemical leaks. Not for airborne toxins. Not for sudden mass health crises in schools. Our detection systems are too slow. Our hospitals get overwhelmed too fast. Our students pay the price. The real emergency isn’t just the unknown gas. It’s how little we know and how late we act.

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.
