Top 5 Timely Thesis Topics on Police Training, Public Trust, and Firearm Policy in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

A commander failed a routine firearms test. Not just once. Again and again. No one noticed. No one cared. Until one night, in the middle of an operation, he missed his shot. The target lived. An innocent teenager died. That’s when the PNP decided enough was enough. Starting July, commanders who fail the marksmanship exam will be stripped of their posts. No exceptions. No second chances.

This is not just about guns. It’s about competence. Responsibility. Integrity.

What’s really wrong is that for too long, people in power have been allowed to skip the basics. Wear the rank but skip the training. Lead without skill. This culture of “pwede na” is why mistakes happen. Why people die. It has to end now.

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.
