The document summarizes the Lasallian Reflection Framework (LRF), a process for experiential learning, reflection, and taking action. The LRF has three stages: Masid-Danas focuses on experience and observation, Suri-Nilay involves analysis and critical reflection, and Tayo-Kilos centers on commitment and action. These stages form a continuous process inspired by St. John Baptist de La Salle's educational mission and the University's vision of serving society, especially the poor. The LRF draws from similar models used in pastoral and social justice circles to guide experience-based learning and promote positive change.

6. Vatican II’s “Reading the Signs of the
Times” and “Observe-Judge-Act” (1961)
“There are three stages which should normally be
followed in the reduction of social principles into
practice. First, one reviews the concrete situation;
secondly, one forms a judgment on it in the light
of these same principles; thirdly, one decides
what in the circumstances can and should be
done to implement these principles. These are
the three stages that are usually expressed in the
three terms: Observe, Judge, Act.”

Pope John XXIII, 1961
