A Guinness World Records representative has declared the son of a poor Filipino locksmith who measures 60 centimetres tall as the world's shortest man.
Guinness official Craig Glenday says Junrey Balawing, who turned 18 on Sunday, broke the record of Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal, who is 67cm tall.
The announcement drew a loud applause from Balawing's parents and townmates in Zamboanga del Norte's remote Sindangan township in the southern Philippines, who showered the new celebrity with a feast, a cake, balloons and cash.
Balawing thanked the crowd and posed for pictures.
