Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

EDSA is Metro Manila’s artery. It carries millions every day. It has cracks, chaos and history. Now, the government wants to fix it. Fast. From a two-year timeline, they’re pushing to finish in just six months to a year. New tech. New materials. All under pressure from the President himself. The goal is noble. The plan sounds promising. But something deeper is broken.

Here’s what’s really wrong. We keep chasing speed. But we don’t ask why roads keep failing in the first place. We invest in concrete. We forget about climate. Urban planning. Corruption. Maintenance. Without long-term vision, this project becomes another band-aid. It’s not just a race against time. It’s a fight against our own system. And if no one studies that, we’ll keep driving in circles.

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.
