Teofisto T. Guingona, Jr. (born July 4, 1928) was the Vice President of the Philippines from 2001 to 2004, during the first term of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Teofisto Guingona was born in San Juan, Rizal.
Guingona took his primary and secondary education at Ateneo de Cagayan. He then earned his Bachelor of Laws degree from Ateneo de Manila University, where he later taught law, political science and history.
Guingona was elected to the senate in 1987, and re-elected in 1992. In 1993 he was appointed Executive Secretary, then he was appointed secretary of the Department of Justice in 1995. In 1998 he was again elected senator. During his time as senator, he had served as Senate Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, and Senate President Pro-Tempore.
In 2001, following the EDSA II Revolution, Guingona was appointed vice-president by president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. He was also concurrently served as Secretary of Foreign Affairs. During his time as vice-president, he was often at odds with Arroyo, particularly over foreign policy.
In the 2004 Philippine elections, Guingona did not run for re-election and was succeeded by Noli de Castro. In that election, he controversially supported the presidential bid of opposition candidate Fernando Poe Jr., who lost.
Guingona also took part in an anti-administration political rally in October 2005, and was sprayed down with water by the police when the rally moved to an area where protest rallies were not permitted.
