That is a long out-of-date (50 years ago long) view of primates. Right now, there is no pongid family. The ponginae are the subfamily to which orangutans belong. In fact, as it is understood now, Pan troglodytes (chimps, which are obviously apes) belong to the same family, subfamily, and tribe as humans. (that would be Hominidae, Homininae, and Hominini)

I did a quick check and there appears to be some controversy over how to arrange the taxonomy.

I'm dubious about your characterization of my statement as "long out-of-date".

Chimps are 99% human. There's only 1% difference in the DNA. People would be less smug if we still had fur like chimps do.
