I found out an interesting feature of Google Earth, which explores previous satellites images of a particular place on earth.We're going to explore the history of TMCNHS though Google Earth.

Here's the first one. This was taken from 2005. There's overabundance of green hue all over the images.
Science Class students we're placed on rooms with light-green roofs (if you're familiar with TMCNHS, you'll probably know where it is in this map). Modern SC buildings hasn't being built yet.
Also notice the sports complex. You can clearly see dirt tracks.

Then roughly almost 5 years later, these images arrive. Modern Science Class buildings are now built (although they were occupied by students and teachers in star sections)
Notice the sports complex is losing its dirt-brown tracks. Blame rainy seasons from previous months and government's lack of funds to manage that area.

...and thankfully a better image. See the oval track is somewhat being restored. A miracle!

The image below is the clearest and most vibrant image among all of images in this post.
You notice the south-east corner of oval tracks has been erased. Actually, that area is surrounded by elevated land (from around 4 to 12 meters high give or take) so rainwater always go in there everytime it rains.

Update: 2015 Images
TMCNHS oval site has now been replaced by SM Trece Martires (which is under construction). Based on these images, SM Trece must started construction in late 2014.
