The Guinness World Records is set to recognise Balawing as the new "Shortest Living Man" on his 18th birthday on Sunday (the day he is eligible for the title) in Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte in southern Philippines June 11, 2011. Balawing, who is from the Philippines, reportedly stands at 22 inches (55cm), considerably shorter than the current holder of the title, Khagendra Thapa Magar from Nepal, who measures 26.4 inches. Should Balawing's height prove shorter than Magar's after the official measurement on Sunday, Balawing will not only hold the record for the shortest living man, but also the shortest living man in history, a statement from the Guinness World Records said on Saturday.
