Noel, what's wrong with omitting the names from the drugstores and fastfood outlets?
While OSM is a free/open-content project, it is commerce-agnostic. Take note that Wikipedia has articles on fastfood ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jollibee) and drugstore ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Drug) franchises and there's nothing wrong with that. Likewise, there's nothing wrong with adding the names of commercial entities in OSM. For example, here's McDonald's Eastwood Citywalk 1 where I'm having breakfast right now and typing this e-mail: http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=14.608905&lon=121.080087&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF Take note that the only info that you can get here is that there's a stand-alone building for a fastfood outlet named McDonald's. There's no delivery number, no promos, no ads, nothing besides the location info, which is part of what OSM is.
