Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Imagine 2.7 million Filipinos learning online. A 383% jump in GenAI course enrollment in just one year. On paper, it looks like we’re winning. We're beating Asia. We're beating the world. But here’s what you’re not being told. We ranked 88th globally in skills proficiency. That’s near the bottom. It means we’re learning fast but not learning enough. We’re flooding into AI with hype, not with depth. And that gap could cost us.

The real problem is this. We’re obsessed with speed, not substance. We chase certificates, not comprehension. Companies want AI-ready workers. Government wants one million AI-skilled Filipinos by 2028. But what happens when the skills we’re building aren’t strong enough to deliver? When reskilling becomes just a buzzword and not a real change? This isn’t just an education issue. This is a national urgency. Your thesis could fix 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.
