Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Inside a 42-hectare military camp in the heart of Mindanao, soldiers live in converted spaces with no proper barracks. Some have no roofs over their heads. They fight in the dark with outdated gear. They clean the camp themselves without garbage trucks. Their kids wait for scholarships that don’t come. During a visit, President Marcos heard all of it. He promised to study combat pay and long-term solutions. But the message from the troops was clear. They're not asking for luxury. They're asking for dignity.

The real problem is not just outdated pay. It's a system that lets those who risk their lives for the country fall through the cracks. Combat pay reform is just the surface. What's underneath is deeper. Infrastructure gaps. Health insurance holes. Broken support systems. This is about survival, not just compensation. If we keep ignoring this, we are failing the very people who protect us.

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.
