Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Six buses. On a national highway. Racing like they were in a video game. The video went viral. Not because it was funny. But because it was terrifying. These weren’t sports cars. These were public buses. Filled with lives. Families. Kids. Workers. All entrusted to the care of drivers who decided to gamble with their safety. The bus company said sorry. The government said, “Apology not accepted.”

The real issue? We keep reacting to danger after it happens. We let reckless behavior slide if nobody dies. We wait for a tragedy before asking the hard questions. This mindset is deadly. And it's rooted in a system that values convenience over accountability. Transportation isn’t just about routes. It’s about responsibility. And too many forget that behind every wheel is a life-or-death decision.

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.
