TOP 5 Thesis Topics on Digital SOCE Submission and Political Transparency

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

The Commission on Elections just launched Project SURI, a digital system meant to simplify how candidates declare their campaign money. No more long lines. No more paperwork. Just one click from your living room and your statement of contributions and expenditures (SOCE) is filed. Funded by the Japanese government, this looks like a milestone. But don’t get distracted by the shiny new tech.

Because here’s what’s really wrong. The issue is not just how SOCEs are submitted. The real problem is how many fake, incomplete or late reports still go unpunished. This digital upgrade hides a hard truth. The system remains easy to cheat, and hard to check. It’s not about submission. It’s about scrutiny. And the public, as always, is left in the dark.

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.
