Many in the largest Roman Catholic nation in Asia are asking if this is same band of militants the government has long dismissed as ransom-seeking bandits. Or, has the Philippines fallen into a growing list of countries that are now grappling with the spread of the Islamic State group from Syria and Iraq?
Terrorism experts believe that a key Abu Sayyaf faction and at least two other small armed groups have gone beyond pledging allegiance to the Middle East-based jihadis on video and have struck a new alliance under the ISIS flag.

Looks like the Philippine shouldn't have thrown us out. NYT 1991
MANILA, Monday, Sept. 16— The Philippine Senate voted today to reject a new treaty for the Subic Bay Naval Station and to end an American military presence in the country that has lasted nearly a century. But President Corazon C. Aquino effectively extended the American lease by calling for a national referendum on the base's future.

ASG has been a Kidnap For Ransom group for years. Right now some of their leadership is grappling with if they should fly the black flag or not. Most of those guys are gangbangers who use that radical Islam shit for recruiting purposes. Some of their TTPs fall in line with radical Islamic terrorists but most of the time they do that stuff for extortion, intimidation or to garner attention from external financiers.
To answer at least part of your question factually though I will tell you that VEOs in the region have been funded and solicited by ISIS and other terrorist organizations in the Middle East.

I was unaware that beheading was invented by Daesh. Who knew?
Abu Sayyaf has killed hostages before and has long made being in certain parts of the Philippines really dangerous. If I had to guess, they went with "Time to remind people to take us seriously" rather than "Yay for the Caliphate!"
