参议员艾伦·彼得·卡亚塔诺在6月12日的Facebook直播中，将他争夺参议院议长职位的努力，比作已故的贝尼尼奥·“尼诺”·阿基诺二世反对马科斯独裁统治的抗争。“八月二十一日运动”谴责这一比较是妄想且具有侮辱性的。
在6月12日长达39分钟的直播中，卡亚塔诺比出了“L”手势并表示他将继续抗争，引用了“菲律宾人值得为之奋斗”的名言。尽管已被剥夺职位，他仍坚称自己是合法的参议院议长。
由尼诺·阿基诺的弟弟阿加皮托·“布兹”·阿基诺创立的“八月二十一日运动”于6月13日做出回应。该组织称这种比较十分可笑，并敦促卡亚塔诺辞职，称其阵营所持立场与尼诺所奋斗的价值观背道而驰。
该组织（ATOM）还指责卡亚塔诺及其盟友违反法律，并阻碍针对副总统莎拉·杜特尔特的弹劾程序。该组织表示，“L”手势不应代表“抗争”（laban），而应代表“亵渎”（lapastangan）。
