Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

You’re standing in line. Again. You just got off a plane. You’re tired, hungry, maybe even anxious. And now, you’re stuck behind 50 other people at immigration. No one tells you how long it’ll take. The line barely moves. You wonder why everything still feels like the 90s. And then you see it. A closed e-gate. Silent. Unused. And it hits you. We have the tools. We just don’t know how to use them.

The real problem isn’t lack of funding. It’s execution. It’s delay. It’s a system stuck in its old ways. The Department of Budget and Management released over 3 billion pesos across two years to build and expand E-gates in the country’s biggest international gateways. But we’re still in Phase 2. And we’re still waiting in line. This is not just a travel issue. It’s a failure in digital implementation, resource allocation, and public service delivery.

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.
