Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

When I was younger, my teacher used to bring her own chalk to class. She told us not to worry about it. She said it was “part of the job.” That same year, she had to handle two grade levels in one room. I didn’t think much of it then. But now I realize what she was doing—surviving.

We call them heroes so we don’t have to pay them more.

This year, DepEd filled 60,000 teacher positions. That’s good news. But the problem was never just about numbers.

It’s about how we treat the ones we already have.

We send them to far places without support. We give them low pay and expect high performance. We overload them with tasks that have nothing to do with teaching.

Then we wonder why our students are behind.

This is not just a teacher problem. This is a national emergency. You cannot build a future on the backs of exhausted, underpaid, disrespected educators.

Wake up.

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.
