Top 5 Thesis Topics on Pasig River Rehabilitation and Sustainable Transport

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Once the lifeline of Metro Manila, the Pasig River became a dumping ground, written off as dead. But today, it is slowly coming back to life. With agencies like the MMDA and DENR working together, there is hope. The river is being cleaned. The ferry service is being revived. Communities along its banks are part of the change. Yet, the story is far from over.

The truth is, public awareness is still low. Most people still think the river is dirty, useless, forgotten. The programs exist, but many don’t know about them. We need research that does not just describe the river’s condition, but understands why people still ignore it. We need to study how the public sees this river, what makes them care, and what makes them act. Until we do that, no amount of cleanup will be enough.

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...
