Mr. Realiza’s proven track record and commitment to serve his community both locally and internationally have earned him significant recognition in his various roles and posts. Select samples of recent testimonies from former and current colleagues can be found below.
Ambassador Donald T. Bliss, UN Association of the National Capital Area (UNA-NCA)
“Patrick has organized excellent programs and provided sound advice on using social media to communicate with our membership. He is a pleasure to work with and helped organize a very well attended program on the refugee crisis. I especially enjoyed a program he organized on the Paris Climate Agreement which provided practical advice on how each of us can take concrete steps to implement the Agreement locally and in our lives—a really inspiring program.”
Dr. Edward A. Seidel, Mid Atlantic Foundation for Asian Artists, Inc. (MAFFAA)
“My wife and I consider ourselves to be very fortunate in being able to produce and disseminate the wonder of Noli Me Tangere, through Patrick’s help. In this endeavor, he has been instrumental in maintaining the momentum needed to sustain this project from inception to its first premiere at the Kennedy Center in 2014. Since then, he has only continued to demonstrate exceptional communications skills through effective public outreach efforts, as seen in Richmond in 2016 and more recently in June 2017 at the Historic Strand Theatre in Boston.”
Mrs. Katherine Gunther, St. Charles Catholic Church – Haiti Committee
“Patrick has limitless energy, a facility with technology, a natural affinity for people that makes him a particularly effective communicator, a brilliance for problem solving, and a generous spirit. He has the maturity and wisdom of someone much older, but the enthusiasm and energy of a whirling dervish. I have come to rely on him as a mentor and role model for young people. Patrick is always willing to share his insight with others or to teach his skills.”
Mr. A. Edward Elmendorf, UN Association of the National Capital Area (UNA-NCA)
“Patrick Realiza stands out against peers of all nationalities. His dedication is not just to the United Nations, but to whatever task he sets for himself is truly remarkable. Patrick is highly reliable: When he agrees to assume responsibility for something, I have always found that I can rely on him to do it. Patrick is a highly promising young professional.”
Mrs. Susan A. MacIntyre, St. Charles Catholic Church – Haiti Committee
“Patrick’s work on the Haiti Committee has been incredibly instrumental in our work to provide education, nutrition, and health benefits to hundreds of impoverished children in southwestern Haiti. All the members of the Committee have been extremely impressed with Patrick’s tireless commitment to ensuring that critical assistance reaches our less fortunate brothers and sisters.”
Dr. Lorna Imperial Seidel, Mid Atlantic Foundation for Asian Artists, Inc. (MAFFAA)
“With his reputable accomplishments, we entrusted him in leading our social media committee. Mr. Realiza provided his expertise, skills, resources and time management dedicating many hours. We were confident that he could take on the challenges presented before him, whether these matters involved being the spokesperson at the various diplomatic missions to drafting and editing our monthly newsletter, he delivered excellence.”
Mr. Patrick R. Ferraren, Bohol Restoration Group, Inc. (BRG)
“Patrick is responsibly passionate and energetic. It is no wonder why he was immediately entrusted by BRG’s executive director to create a social platform in promoting awareness for this cause. With minimal guidance, Patrick showed superior skills with the the use of language and tone in creating professional messages.”
Mr. Stephen F. Moseley, UN Association of the National Capital Area (UNA-NCA)
“He works well with our young professional members and at the same time he is very poised, confident and able to establish fine relations with our team of board members, chairs and staff. I have interacted with him in my past co-chair role on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Task Force, where he helped produce a final report on the local to global applications of the SDGs. He is a hard worker and brings a very high level of energy through his communications and social media skills.”
