Problem Statement

In triangle ABCABC (ABACAB\ne AC), where all angles are greater than 4545^\circ, the altitude ADAD is drawn. Let ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 be-- circles with diameters ACAC and ABAB, respectively. The angle bisector of ADB\angle ADB secondarily intersects ω1\omega_1 at point PP, and the angle bisector of ADC\angle ADC secondarily intersects ω2\omega_2 at point QQ. The line APAP intersects ω2\omega_2 at the point RR. Prove that the circumcenter of triangle PQRPQR lies on line BCBC.
