Filipino named world's shortest man


Measuring just 59.93 cm, Junrey Balawing, a Filipino who turned 18 today, was declared the world's shortest man, taking over the title from a tiny Nepali.
Son of a Filipino blacksmith, Balawing stopped growing when he was a toddler.

Junrey Balawing reacts after he was officially declared "the world's shortest living man" by the Guinness World Records at Sindangan Municipal Hall in Sindangan township, Zamboanga Del Norte province in Southern Philippines on June 12, 2011, on his 18th birthday and coincidentally the Philippines' Independence Day.
