The desistance came after Arroyo had survived a triple heart bypass last May, having forgiven all those whom he accused of libel. Arroyo had earlier accused the Tulfo brothers of having issued libelous statements in a press conference on August 2, 2006 in a QC restaurant where the brothers said that Arroyo had a hand in the cancellation of their program "Isumbong Mo" (Tulfo Brothers) aired over government television network RPN Channel 9 and engaged in an illicit relationship with a certain Vicky Toh.
