This was at a pretty good hotel, the New World in Makati, around the
year 2000. They had several restaurants; the one that served kangaroo
was pretty upscale. They had prime rib, steaks, and various ethnic
cuisines. It was expensive, but I was on an expense account, so I didn't
care.

They did "themes" from time to time, and the kangaroo was available
during "Australian Month". They actually had a large inflated kangaroo
at the entrance to the restaurant for the month. Kangaroo was not
normally on the menu, so I expect that it was authentic, brought in just
for that month's theme.

I ate a lot of Filipino food while I was there, over the course of
several years, and never saw kangaroo at any other time.
