Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

A 16-year-old walks into a clinic alone. He has no idea what to say. He doesn’t want to be seen. He thinks he might have HIV. He learned nothing about it in school. No one told him how to protect himself. No one told him it was real. Now, he might be too late. Multiply that by thousands. That’s what we’re facing.

Here’s what’s really wrong. Schools are failing to prepare students for real-life health risks. HIV cases are exploding among Filipinos aged 15 to 24. That’s one-third of all new infections. This is not just a health issue. It is a systemic failure. Students are hungry. They are unprotected. They are misinformed. This is not just a gap. This is a national emergency.

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.
