Making a separate thread for this show
I shot videos of Studio D (Disney Channel Asia) with my mom's digital camera back in 2003. They were all deleted when my family's computer had to be reset because of a virus.
Sadly, there are no videos online. Only articles are available. From "Disney boosts Asian line-up with Studio D", Campaign Asia, 27 June 2003 (www.campaignasia.com/article/disney-boosts-asian-line-up-with-studio-d/190205):
Mr. Miranda's name already appeared in the search effort thread of Disney's Legends of the Ring of Fire.
I found this entry in 2004 Winners of the Asian Television Awards (www.asiantvawards.com/winners/2004-winners/):
And this picture from an interview with Nicole/Nikki Muller, one of the hosts. From Jordyn Hill, "What Brings You To Life? *Part 3* The Entertainer", Jordyn Hill, 18 August 2015 (jordynhill.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-brings-you-to-life-part-3.html):
And this picture from the Disney Fandom wiki whose origin I cannot determine:
I want to find this show and watch it again for nostalgia's sake. I remember having a huge crush on Nikki (Nicole) back in the day. I remember her having to gargle water while singing the Philippine national anthem in the show, but maybe that's just a Mandela effect.

ASIA-PACIFIC: Disney Channel Asia has launched an Asian-hosted programme, Studio D, which is expected to become the flagship show for its regional feed.
The show launches on July 5 and is broadcast in English in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Brunei and is subtitled in Korea.
The new hosts, Azura Zainal from Malaysia, Nicole Muller from the Philippines and Michael Lee from Korea, were selected from around the region through a long audition process as Disney wanted a genuine representation and cultural diversity for Studio D. The hosts will be assisted by a puppet, Miru, who is expected to appeal to viewers across the region.
The three-hour programme is aired on Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 12 pm and is targeted at children aged seven to 12.

The show incorporates interactive segments on location and in the studio when audience will take part.
"These segments will reflect the lives and interests of children around Asia, providing them with a voice and mode of expression as well as enabling them to learn about the lives and experiences of their contemporaries throughout the region," said Raymund Miranda, managing director of Walt Disney Television International, South East Asia/Korea.
"Studio D is a truly local property from its reflection of the lives of children throughout the region to its multicultural team of hosts," he said.
Studio D will be marketed through an integrated campaign comprising on-air, off-air, online and onground activities. As a subscriptions-only channel, Disney does not accept commercials.
