Filipino man bids to be world's smallest
Junrey Balawing is just a little bit taller than a rooster but he's hoping he's short enough to replace Khagendra Thapa Magar, from Nepal as the world's smallest man.
4:41PM BST 11 Jun 2011
Mr Balawing must wait until he reaches the qualifying age of 18 to be measured but local media say he is currently 23 inches tall while Mr Magar stands at 26 inches.
Adjudicators from Guiness Records have travelled to meet Mr Balawing at his home in in Sindangan, a coastal municipality in the southern Philippines.
The vice-mayor of Sindangan, Bess Jagonio said: "We are very proud because our town Sindangan will be known throughout the whole world-- that we have a person or a boy to become a titleist (title holder) of the book of Guinness.”
