For the first time in his life, Junrey Balawing is standing head and shoulders over everyone else.
Balawing can indeed look down on everyone else now that he has been named the world's shortest man by Guinness World Records. The Filipino man received the honor in a ceremony Sunday, which just so happened to be the same day he turned 18.
