Problem Statement

Let PP and QQ be points inside a triangle ABCABC such that PAC=QAB\angle PAC = \angle QAB and PBC=QBA\angle PBC = \angle QBA. Let DD and EE be the feet of the perpendiculars from PP to the lines BCBC and ACAC, and FF be the foot of perpendicular from QQ to the line ABAB. Let MM be intersection of the lines DEDE and ABAB. Prove that MPCFMP \perp CF
