Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Imagine a young Filipino mom, burnt out from work and city noise. She books a weekend at a hotel with free breakfast and a pool. Not for luxury. Not for leisure. But for peace. To breathe. To feel human again. Like thousands of other Filipinos, she isn’t just escaping. She’s trying to heal.

This is not just about tourism anymore. The real story is mental health. The real driver is emotional exhaustion. Filipinos, especially Millennials and Gen Zs, are using travel as therapy. But no one’s asking the hard question. What happens when therapy is just a hotel stay? What are we running from? And what are we not fixing back home?

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.
