EN: superficial; hypocritical
This is the perfect word for 'plastic.' It's that friend who is super nice to your face but talks trash behind your back. It's the politician's promise during election season. It's all for show, all surface-level, no substance. Like an Instagram post that looks perfect but the reality is a total mess. #NoFilter is the opposite of paimbabaw.
The 'pa-im-' prefix is less common and often implies a quality or characteristic.
