Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
Every year, your future is rewritten behind closed doors. Billions of pesos are debated in rooms you can't enter. Policies that affect your life, your education, your job, your healthcare are decided by a few people with no cameras and no witnesses. They say it's for efficiency. But silence is never efficient. It's just hidden.
The real problem is not just secrecy. It is power with no audience. The bicameral budget conference committee, or "bicam," has the final say on how your taxes are spent. Yet, unlike most legislative hearings, it is done in private. No livestream. No transcripts. No accountability. This is where budget insertions are made. This is where your money disappears. And nobody gets to ask why.

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...
