In a triangle $\triangle ABC$, $D$ and $E$ are respectively on $AB$ and $AC$ such that $DE\parallel BC$. $P$ is the intersection of $BE$ and $CD$. $M$ is the second intersection of $(APD)$ and $(BCD)$ , $N$ is the second intersection of $(APE)$ and $(BCE)$. $w$ is the circle passing through $M$ and $N$ and tangent to $BC$. Prove that the lines tangent to $w$ at $M$ and $N$ intersect on $AP$.
