Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

A child opens their phone and sees a perfectly edited video. It looks real. It sounds real. It even uses the president’s voice. The problem? None of it is real. It’s AI. And this child believes every second of it. In a world where machines can copy reality, your only defense is the mind. The sharp, questioning, always-checking mind. That’s what the Department of Education wants students to build. But are schools really ready for this fight?

Here’s what’s really wrong. Students are walking into digital battlefields unarmed. No real training in spotting fake news. No habit of asking hard questions. No ability to tell what’s real and what’s not. We gave them AI before teaching them how to read the world. This is not just a curriculum gap. It’s a national risk.

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.
