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.
He is married to Ruth de Lara, the mayor of Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental. His son, Teofisto III (TG) is the incumbent representative from Bukidnon.
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 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 the full-term 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.
On August 23, 2007, together with former University of the Philippines president Francisco Nemenzo, Jr. he launched of the "Paglingkurin si Trillanes [Let Trillanes Serve] Movement" in Pasay City. Akbayan Representative Risa Hontiveros, Ana Maria Nemenzo of the Freedom from Debt Coalition, opposition leader Jose “Linggoy” Alcuaz, and Trillanes' spokesperson, Sonny Rivera were present.[1]
On December 13, 2007, the Makati court dismissed Rebellion cases against Teofisto Guingona, Jr., Fr. Robert Reyes, Bishop Emeritus Julio Labayen, Francisco Nemenzo, Elizabeth Orteza and civilians. Journalists (Malaya columnist Ellen Tordesillas, NHK reporter Charmaine Deosgracias and Maria Ressa of ABS-CBN) recounted their ordeals during the Manila siege at the Senate hearing on media arrest. Recently, 6 unidentified soldiers were probed over the siege and Antonio Trillanes IV also filed a manifestation asking sorry to the judge but not to Mrs. Arroyo.[2]
