Philippines' Pacquiao 'not sorry' for drug use
Philippine boxing legend Manny Pacquiao insisted Friday he owed his fans and countrymen no apology after admitting to having used illegal drugs. Pacquiao, a national hero and elected senator, is a high-profile endorser of President Rodrigo Duterte's brutal war on crime that has left more than 3,000 people dead.

Samsung slammed by Chinese state TV over Note 7 recall 'discrimination'
By Sijia Jiang HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese state broadcaster CCTV has slammed South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co for what it said was "discrimination" against China consumers in its handling of a global recall of Galaxy Note 7 smartphones to replace batteries. In a commentary piece posted on its website on Thursday evening, CCTV said Samsung's behavior in China after the Sept. 2 recall of 2.5 million phones was "full of arrogance". CCTV said a video apology Samsung issued to U.S. consumers, along with various replacement options and compensation, was in stark contrast to its treatment of those in China, where the company issued a brief statement saying most phones didn't need to be replaced.

Tianjin latest Chinese city to restrict property purchases
The northern city of Tianjin has become the latest Chinese city to restrict property purchases, the city government said late on Friday, as second- and third-tier cities across the country try to cool rising home prices. In a statement posted on its website, the city said it would stop people who do not have the "hukou" residence permit for Tianjin from buying a second property in the downtown area. Tianjin is the newest second-tier city to introduce measures to restrict home purchases in response to surging home prices.
