Vitaliano Aguirre II was born and raised in Mulanay, Quezon to Alfaro G. Aguirre and Maria Napeñas.

His father was a mayor of the town who also served as Liberal Party chairman for almost 40 years.

In February 2012, during the Impeachment of Renato Corona where he was a counsel, Aguirre was cited for contempt after a disrespectful gesture and argument towards the respected senator-judge Miriam Defensor Santiago, who was the most vocal on the court trial proceedings.

In March 2013, President Aquino appointed Aguirre as vice president for Legal Affairs of the government-owned Clark Development Corporation.

Aguirre was also a lawyer for then Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

He likewise represented a policeman who owned a quarry site turned into a firing range where remains of supposed victims of these alleged death squads were believed to have been buried.

In July 2016, following the victory of Duterte for the Philippine presidency, Aguirre was appointed as the new secretary of the Department of Justice.

On July 26, 2016, Mulanay plantation farmers accused Aguirre that he was asking and "threatening" them to pay rent in a land they rightfully own.

On November 27, 2016, two commissioners of the Bureau of Immigration, an attached agency to Aguirre's department, were embroiled in an extortion controversy.

Commissioners Al Argosino and Michael Robles were accused of extorting P50 million from gaming tycoon Jack Lam in exchange of release of 1,316 Chinese employees of Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino.

Aguirre denied knowledge of the alleged exchange between the immigration commissioners and the tycoon, even after he personally met Jack Lam.

2017

Aguirre sparked controversy after he pushed for state prosecutors, which he controls, to file cases against incumbent senator Leila de Lima, which led to de Lima's arrest on February 24, 2017.

Afterwards, in a two-page motion, prosecutors from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which Aguirre headed, asked the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court (MCRTC) Branch 204 to consolidate and handle the three cases against the senator de Lima.

Judge Juanita Guerrero, presiding judge of Branch 204, was the same judge who ordered de Lima's arrest.

On June 8, 2017, Aguirre downgraded from murder to homicide the charges filed against CIDG members involved in the killing of Albuera, Leyte mayor Rolando Espinosa in 2016, sparking public outrage.

CIDG Region 8 police chief Supt. Marvin Marcos, along with 18 others, were the main suspects of the killings.

During the 2017 Marawi Crisis, Aguirre tagged various opposition senators, including Bam Aquino and Antonio Trillanes, along with others as masterminds of the siege, an accusation that would later be proved as fabrications.

Aguirre claimed that the senators flew to Marawi and met with members of two influential local political clans a few days before the May 23 siege.

Aguirre showed to the media a photo of the supposed meeting.

However, Aguirre was apparently unaware that the photo of the alleged meeting in Marawi was posted on a Facebook fan page created by the President's supporters on May 13, or more than a week before terrorists mounted the attack.
