Guinness names Filipino as world’s shortest man
A poor Filipino blacksmith’s son who stands less than two feet (60 centimeters) tall was declared the world’s shortest man by Guinness World Records on his 18th birthday last June 12, sparking a celebration in his far-flung hometown.
The title was bestowed on Junrey Balawing in Sindangan in the southern Philippines, with Balawing’s parents, villagers and officials showering the coastal town’s newly famous resident with a feast, a cake, balloons and cash gifts.
Balawing measured 23.5 inches (60 centimeters) during the ceremony attended by about 100 villagers and journalists. Guinness World Records representative Craig Glenday presented Balawing with official recognition of his status as the shortest adult man in the world.

♥ About Me I am the girl who envisions her own library filled with inspiring spirituality books, arts, culinary and so forth. I love to dream of going to Paris and perhaps travel alone and get lost. I have always love sunrise and sunset, azure sky, fresh air and the smell of grassy fields. Music, books, photography and art are my passions. I doodle mostly of people and scribble endless poems and prayers. I write to release. I am always a healthy eater but I dig into junks whenever I feel so low. I love to wear a cross because it strengthens me. I read the Bible now and it calms and inspires me. I keep a lot of things. I brood a lot. I cry a lot. I value relationships. I hate pretentious people and so I never talk to them unless they start to. I can very much feel people. I have fears and doubts of myself but I always pray for more strength and faith. I always wanted to be happy and life changing but sometimes end up sad and depressed. The cycle always never stops. But I know nothing is impossible with God.
♥ Lyrical Thoughts is the name of this blog because I love music; and lyrics makes me think and reflect.
These musical writings create thoughts that help express my feelings through pictures, poems, and writing. All posts here have links from sources unless stated otherwise.
