<p>
A product of the public schools, he went to the Visayan Institute for college, where he was editor of the college paper and a member of the student 

council. After acquiring his Associate in Arts degree, he proceeded to the University of Manila for studies in law, graduating in 1940. He supported 

himself through college by working as a laborer at the Oriental Glass Palace in Cebu City and through law school by clerking at the Bureau of Posts in 

Manila, and at the U.S. Naval Yard in Cavite City, where the sudden outbreak of World War II caught him, scarcely eluding instant death as Japanese 

bombers shelled the city in 1941.

In the war years, it was said that the Japanese sought his collaboration in manning the Cavite shipyard but Kintanar refused, and instead joined the 

guerrilla movement.

Kintanar started his private law practice immediately after the war. It did not prosper however as the economy of a war-ravaged country was in 

shambles. Pressured by the responsibility of supporting a family, he accepted the offer of working with the National Bureau 
of Investigation (NBI) as an investigator in 1948. He was connected with the NBI until 1952.
