5 Thesis Topics on Relief Goods Misuse in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Imagine a mother holding her hungry baby after a storm wrecked their home. She lines up for hours, hoping for food. But when her turn comes, she’s told the supplies are gone. Why? Because someone down the chain repacked and sold what was meant for her. She walks away with nothing. Her child cries from hunger. And somewhere, someone profits from that pain.

This isn’t just a lapse in logistics. It’s a failure of compassion and justice. Relief goods meant for disaster victims are being tampered with, resold and stolen. That’s not just unethical. That’s criminal. Yet it keeps happening. The law is clear, but the enforcement is weak. We don’t need more donations. We need real accountability. We need to expose this system of quiet theft.

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.
