Somewhere between South Mongoloid with maybe Melanesian or similar tendency.

Do you think he could pass for Moluccan perhaps?

Here are more Manobo peoples:

From Wikipedia:


Manobo

A Bagobo (Manobo) woman of the Matigsalug people from Davao

Manobo children
The Manobo are an Austronesian, indigenous agriculturalist population who neighbor the Mamanwa group in Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur (Garvan, 1931). They live in barangays like the Mamanwa; however, population size is dramatically larger in the Manobo settlements in comparison to those of the Mamanwa.[citation needed] The two groups interact frequently although the amount of interaction varies between settlements and intermarriage is common between them (Reid, 2009).

Manobo is the hispanicized spelling of Manuvu. Its etymology is unclear; in its current form it means 'person' or 'people'.

The Manobo are probably the most numerous of the ethnic groups of the Philippines in the relationships and names of the groups that belong to this family of languages. Mention has been made of the numerous subgroups that comprise the Manobo group.[by whom?] The total Manobo population is not known, although they occupy core areas from Sarangani island into the Mindanao mainland in the provinces of Agusan del Sur, Davao provinces, Bukidnon, and North and South Cotabato. The groups occupy such a wide area of distribution that localized groups have assumed the character of distinctiveness as a separate ethnic grouping such as the Bagobo or the Higaonon, and the Atta. Depending on specific linguistic points of view, the membership of a dialect with a supergroup shifts.

The Manobo are genetically related to the Denisovans, much like the Mamanwa.[7]

It appears that they're predominantly of "Austronesian" stock, with a little Negrito admixture in them. To me many of them can even pass as Moluccans. :)

Yes probably something similar.
Austronesian with some Negrito is the best one, with Melanesian instead the man would have looked more Fijian.
