Balimbing - (star fruit) sila yong mga taong kung saan sila makikinabang ... doon sila kakapit.

They are sometimes called a turncoat - people who switch loyalty, allegiance, and support depending on where they can benefit the most.

This term can be loosely used in politics, but we see balimbing personality among friends... even in the family - where one member defects fidelity and trustworthiness in exchange for monetary and material benefits to a person they barely knew. And when the time comes and all is not good on the Western front ... they come back to you like nothing has happened.
