Let AB and CD intersect at T. Angle EPB = angle CPF. Therefore PC and PB are isogonals of angle EPF. By the isogonal theorem PG and PT are also isogonals of angle EPF. It means that angle TPF = angle GPE. More than that EPFT is cyclic. Therefore angle TPF=angle TEF. So, angle GPE = angle TEF = 90 - angle FEP => PG is perpendicular to EF.

Nice theorem, It's new for me. On having the first glance, I thought it's questions of Complete Quadrilaterals.
Very good question and well explained.
