Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
Back in high school, we used to share one chair between two people. Sometimes three. Our teacher would stand at the front, voice barely reaching the back because we didn’t have speakers, or fans, or sometimes even a roof. When it rained, we got wet. When it was hot, we couldn’t breathe. We didn’t complain because we thought this was normal. We thought this was just how public school worked.
But it’s not normal. And it never should’ve been.
Here’s what’s really wrong.
We don’t have enough classrooms. Not even close. We’re 165,000 short. If we keep building at this pace, it will take 55 years to fix that. Fifty-five years. That’s two full generations of kids learning in crammed, broken, unsafe spaces. The kind that makes you hate school. The kind that kills dreams.
And that’s just the infrastructure. Not even counting the teachers we don’t have. The learning gaps we still haven’t closed. The technology we haven’t given.
It’s not that we don’t care. It’s that we keep pretending classrooms aren’t urgent.
They are.

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.
