The earliest legend of Mindanao and Sulu appears to be that Sinbad the sailor visited Mindanao on one of his voyages. In Sulu we have Moro legends to the effect that Alexander the Great held court in Jolo in BC 320. Many of the Moros proudly trace their descent from the great Macedonian conqueror.

Re: Story of Moro and descendants in Phillipine
Now this is getting to be interesting....
What a theory!
Granting it is acceptably possible, are you implying that Datu Sumakwel and Queen Maniwangtiwang could be direct descendants of Alexander?
How could they have crossed over that area and held court there? Was it during the Pangea period?
And if later, what is the intent of crossing a vast ocean just to land in a smattering of small islands?
Does the book say anything about this?
