Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
Imagine being six years old and sitting in a classroom where the words on the board make no sense. Imagine the teacher speaking a language you barely hear at home. For years, the policy said that kids would learn better if you teach them in their mother tongue. But what if the mother tongue wasn't being taught right either? What if there were too many languages and not enough support? What if children ended up more confused than educated?
The problem is this. The promise of the mother tongue as a bridge to learning was never fully delivered. Teachers were untrained. Materials were missing. Children were trapped in classrooms where they understood neither the language of the lesson nor the reason why it mattered. The DepEd has now admitted this. It's moving back to Filipino and English as the primary modes of instruction. This is not just a policy change. It's a call to fix what’s broken.

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...
