JUNREY Balawing mask his 18th birthday and coincidentally the Philippines’ Independence Day by being declared the world’s smallest man. He measures 23.5 inches high (59.93 centimetres). But how do you show the folks at home and the nationalist that your man is so very small? Well, Guinness stand him next to lots of…Coca Cola bottles.
