Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

A man in Sta. Ana, Manila attacked his own father and cousin. Then, in the heat of his rage, he turned to a dog. He hit the animal again and again until it collapsed, whining in pain. The scene was caught on video. It ended with the suspect being arrested. The dog now lies in a vet’s clinic, possibly with fractured bones. Its only mistake was being near someone consumed by anger.

This is not just a story about one violent man. It’s about the cycle of violence that starts in the home and spills out onto the most defenseless. The research gap is clear. We do not understand how often domestic conflicts lead to animal abuse. We do not measure how many animals suffer in silence when people lose control. And we have done too little to stop it.

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.
