EN: a false or unreliable friend; a fair-weather friend

The 'hilaw' (unripe) part means their friendship isn't fully cooked or genuine.
A compound word from 'kumpare' (friend) and 'hilaw' (unripe, raw).
A compound word highlighting insincere friendship. Often used to describe someone who is opportunistic.
