Peace talks in the Philippines

From reading this brief article, the Muslim rebellion in the Philippines is slowly crumbling. Now it is time for the president, Benigno Aquino, to discuss peace with the leaders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The problem, however, is that peace negotiations have been pushed back due to concerns of whether all the necessary steps will be completed before Aquino's term ends in 2016. The question for now is if Aquino doesn't enable peace between the Muslim and Catholic communities before his term is up, how will his successor deal with the peace process?
