    You’re not alone in this issue—many users from the Philippines have reported the same problem. One possible solution is to try using a different phone number (if available) or a virtual number service that works with Microsoft’s OTP system. Some also had success by reaching out to Microsoft Support for manual verification. Hopefully, they improve this soon! I had a similar experience while checking the Mang Inasal menu and trying to access certain services online.
