TOP 5 Thesis Topics on Urban Flooding and Government Response in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

A broken gate. A city below sea level. And a flood that comes not with rain, but with the moon. In Malabon, people lose work, kids miss school, and families tread murky water just to live another day. The navigational gate meant to protect them has been broken since May. That’s two months of helpless waiting. Two months of riding tricycles through waist-deep water. Two months of free rides to work because the city can’t breathe without help.

What’s really wrong? This isn’t just about a damaged gate. It’s about failure. Poor infrastructure. Slow response. Bad systems. The flood is only the symptom. The real disaster is how long it takes to fix what’s broken. And how no one seems truly accountable. Until we measure this, expose this, and name this, cities like Malabon will keep drowning in silence.

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.
