Problem Statement

The isosceles triangle ABC\triangle ABC, with AB=ACAB=AC, is inscribed in the circle ω\omega. Let PP be a variable point on the arc BC\stackrel{\frown}{BC} that does not contain AA, and let IBI_B and ICI_C denote the incenters of triangles ABP\triangle ABP and ACP\triangle ACP, respectively.
Prove that as PP varies, the circumcircle of triangle PIBIC\triangle PI_BI_C passes through a fixed point.
