    1. The case relates to a political speech given by Isauro Santiago in Quiapo, Manila where he used an amplifier system to call out defamatory statements against then-Mayor Arsenio Lacson in front of about 100 people. 2. Lacson filed an information for libel against Santiago. Santiago claimed the charge should be for oral defamation instead of libel, and the statute of limitations for oral defamation had passed. 3. The Supreme Court ruled the facts constituted the crime of oral defamation under the Revised Penal Code since the defamatory statements were heard through an amplifier system but were extemporaneous and Santiago did not read from a prepared text or manuscript
