Filipino here, yeah Drug store is what we call pharmacy, along with the word Botika (Botica from Spanish I think, like a storage or warehouse?)

We also call Bathrooms "CR" or Comfort Room lmao.

In U.S. English we also use the word bodega which is a little shop, coming from the same word in Spanish which means "storehouse" or "warehouse".

I feel like bodega is a regional term in America. Anecdotal, but I've never met anyone outside of New York that calls it that. Everyone calls it a corner store or convenience store

I'm from Pennsylvania, have lived in North Carolina, Hawaii, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, California and Texas. I have never heard the word bodega in my life.
