How does 'Habang Panahon' mean forever?
I understand that 'Habang' approximately means 'during' and 'panahon' means a while or a period of time.

I can't understand how these concepts can be bound together to mean forever.

Is it related to the passing of our lives?

Answer

Yeah, you got them right. Habang = "during" or "while" depending on the context. 
Panahon = time; period of time.

"Habang panahon" = Forever, eternally, perpetually...

This is how it works:
"Habang panahon" literally means "while there's (the existence of) time ---> not time as a period or moment but time as a dimension.  
"Habang panahon" is synonymous with "Habang buhay" literally "during lifetime".

Hope this helps. ;)
