Rep. Erice sucks up to the powers that be. Caloocan goes national

At the defunct Times Journal, a martial law paper, two irrepressible reporters filed stories totally oblivious of the martial law context they were in. Maning Coles and Rey “Klek Klek” Navarrete wrote their stories without fear or favor. They never ran afoul of the martial law authorities probably because they covered non-political beats – Maning covered the Western Police District, then the premier police beat, while Rey covered what is now known as the CAMANAVA area.

What would have been their behavior in another setting, say a political beat? They would have remained, I guess, just as undaunted and irrepressible.
