Odious and repulsive Liberal Party bet

The Liberal Party in the 2nd district is in a quandary.
Senator Franklin M. Drilon pushed for the nomination of his friend, Pavia mayor Arcadio Gorriceta, to be the congressional candidate to run against incumbent Boboy Syjuco.
However, in a meeting between Gov. Arthur Defensor Sr. with 2nd district mayors the other night, a consensus emerged. Not a single mayor in the other seven towns of the 2nd district approved of the choice. They made it clear to Defensor they won’t support Gorriceta.
Gorriceta has an odious and repulsive personality, the mayors told Defensor. The mayors even wanted to take a straw vote in the presence of Drilon, an idea that he shot down quickly to avoid embarrassment.
