Unknown error when trying to filter nodes in Overpass Turbo using regular expression

Using in Overpass Turbo, I am trying to filter nodes tagged with key place:PH and with values which are not any of the following: barangay, municipality, sitio, purok, or province.

I tried this code below :

[out:xml]/*fixed by auto repair*/[timeout:50];
// gather results
(
  node["place:PH"!~"(barangay|municipality|sitio|purok|province)"]{{bbox}};
);
// print results
out meta;/*fixed by auto repair*/
>;
out meta qt;/*fixed by auto repair*/

but it gives the following unknown error:

An error occured during the execution of the overpass query! This is what overpass API returned:

Error: line 4: parse error: ';' expected - '17.731682803940448' found.

Can anybody please help on how to fix the query?

One Answer:

Your query is missing round brackets before and after {{bbox}}. The correct query is

[out:xml]/*fixed by auto repair*/[timeout:50];
// gather results
(
  node["place:PH"!~"(barangay|municipality|sitio|purok|province)"]({{bbox}});
);
// print results
out meta;/*fixed by auto repair*/
>;
out meta qt;/*fixed by auto repair*/
