Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Jasper Lapera is a pineapple farmer and a father of five. His farm only brings in P7,000 a year, so he raises pigs too. It’s not much, but it’s enough to send three of his kids through school. Two more are still studying. He’s tired. He works every day. And yet, when offered a free prostate screening, he showed up.

This is what real strength looks like.

The problem is, too many men think health is something you only worry about when it's too late. They ignore the warning signs. They push through pain. They wait. And wait. And wait.

Until it’s no longer their choice.

Prostate cancer doesn’t care how hard you work. It doesn’t care if you’re a good father. It doesn’t care if you’ve got dreams for your kids.

It will take everything if you let it.

Let this be the wake-up call. Let this be your thesis.

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.
