Best 5 Thesis Topics on Weather-Related Commuting Disruptions

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Picture this. It's 6 a.m. in Metro Manila. Rain pours hard. You stand under your umbrella. Soaked feet. Heavy bag. You pray a bus or jeepney stops. But nothing comes. You're not alone. Thousands more line the roads. Wet. Cold. Tired. Stranded. Just trying to get to work or school. The roads are flooded. Traffic stands still. There is no backup plan. No protection. No power. Just helplessness.

What’s really wrong? Our urban transport system was never built for people. It was built for survival. And now it's failing. A few inches of rain is enough to paralyze millions. There is no excuse for this. Every rainy season is a disaster waiting to happen. But no one fixes it. You should. Because no one else will.

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.
