Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

3,000 rebels. That’s how many people walked out of armed struggle and knocked on the government’s door, asking to be heard. Not with bullets. With paperwork. They want amnesty. They want a second chance. They want to come back to a country they once fought. And yet, as they re-enter civilian life, their stories barely make headlines. Their voices are quieted again. The fight may be over for them. But for the country, it’s only just beginning.

What’s really wrong? We treat peace like a document. Like a number. 3,000 rebels, tick. But peace is not data. It is rehabilitation. Reintegration. Rehumanization. Right now, there is no real system in place that proves we care about their future. We forgive. But do we support? We accept. But do we protect? This is our gap. This is our crisis.

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.
